In the Main Street to lower-middle market ( million – million), we often deal with three different types of buyers. Each buyer has their own motivations, ways of doing business, and characteristics you should consider when dealing with them while selling your business. So, we’re going to cover each of these three types of buyers in the is three-part (go figure) series.
In this video, I’ll introduce you to the mind of the financial – or private equity – buyer. Private equity investors generally work with a large pool of money and may be working to collect and merge a sum of small businesses in your industry.
If you’re dealing with a private equity firm looking to buy your business, know that you’re dealing with a seasoned buyer. As I touch on in the video, this is both a benefit and a factor you should give some consideration.
As always, watch the video and feel free to reach out with any questions. Leave a comment or contact me.

About me:
My 20+ years of experience in business finance, business law and entrepreneurship have led me to believe that numbers and logic are awesome tools, but understanding human nature and emotions is the first step to business success.
The Cenkus Law Firm provides services related to mergers & acquisitions, general business issues and startups, including founders’ agreements and fundraising. I also consult with entrepreneurs and have invested my own capital as an angel investor.
From 2010-2013 I served as Chief Legal Counsel of a publicly-trade international oilfield services company. From 2001 to 2006 me and a partner founded and built Paragon Residential Mortgage. Paragon was sold to Bridge Investments in 2006.
I hold a Juris Doctorate from Harvard Law School and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Messiah College in Grantham, Pennsylvania.
Now, I live in Austin, TX with my wife and two kids. I enjoy reading, running, classic movies, great food and wine and some great American football.
