Exit Advisory for Supply Chain Business Owners

Whether you’re 1 year from exit or 5, the work starts the same — understanding what your business is actually worth, and what it would take to maximize that value before going to market.

Our Services

Most supply chain business owners come to us at one of two points: they want to know what their business is worth, or they’re ready to sell. Either way, the work starts the same — understanding the business clearly before making any decisions about it.

Business Valuation

Our valuations are built on one standard — the price at which your business will most probably sell, given a sale in the ordinary course. Each valuation goes beyond a number, including: valuation across market, income, and asset approaches weighted by data reliability; an Equity Bridge showing actual net proceeds; a Quality Scorecard quantifying buyer risk discounts; Financing Feasibility testing whether your asking price is achievable; and pre-sale recommendations to improve value before you go to market. Specialized in supply chain, 3PL, industrial distribution, freight, warehousing, and packaging.

Exit Ready Package

Our Exit Ready Package walks you through all three stages of the Exit Ready System™:
1. Valuation + Gap Diagnostic — establish your baseline value and begin documenting critical processes
2. Systemization — build the operational structure that transfers with the business
3. Operational Optimization — implement measurable improvements and update your valuation At completion, you hold a fully documented, exit-ready business.

Business Selling (Full-Service)

When you’re ready to go to market, Capital Link’s full-service M&A advisory gives you a meaningful advantage: by the time your business is listed, we already know it inside out. If you’ve completed the Exit Ready Package, your documentation is done, your operational improvements are on record, and your valuation is defensible — buyers face fewer unknowns, and deals close faster. For owners ready to sell now, we move directly into pricing, confidential marketing, buyer screening, negotiation, due diligence, and closing — with the same rigour applied from day one.

Buyer Support Package

Acquiring a business is one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll make — and most listings don’t come with independent advice for the buyer. When you’re evaluating a business not represented by Capital Link, we provide structured buy-side support:
– Listing Analysis
— independent valuation of your target, CIM review, and risk flag assessment
– Offer Support — offer strategy, LOI preparation, and negotiation guidance

Business Buying (Full-Service)

Full buy-side representation is available for acquisitions requiring end-to-end support — from initial target assessment through due diligence, negotiation, and closing. All prior engagement fees credited toward the advisory fee at completion.

CBV Valuation Reports

There are three types of reports by Chartered Business Valuators– Comprehensive Valuation Reports, Estimate Valuation Reports and Calculation Valuation Reports.
CBV reports are available through our CBV partners.
