How We Help
A disciplined path from transaction readiness to qualified buyer engagement.
A successful transaction requires more than posting a listing. Owners need a clear value narrative, organized information, a credible buyer strategy and a process that protects confidentiality while reaching serious prospective acquirers.
King Global Consulting brings strategic positioning, research, network access, direct outreach, sales execution and process discipline together under one engagement. That same approach applies to operating companies, software and SaaS products, technology and IP, corporate assets, strategic divestitures and off-market opportunities.
Our model is straightforward: clients may select a retainer engagement with no success commission at closing or a commission-based engagement. Under the commission model, a BOV preparation fee is due upon execution: $500 for businesses with an expected transaction value below $500,000 and $1,000 for businesses with an expected transaction value of $500,000 or more. The applicable tier is determined during King Global Consulting Inc.’s preliminary review, and the BOV fee is separate from the agreed success commission payable at closing. The BOV preparation fee does not apply to retainer engagements.
The King Global Advantage
Flexible engagement structures supported by an active sale process.
King Global offers two clearly defined engagement structures: a retainer model with no success commission at closing and a commission model with a tiered Broker’s Opinion of Value Preparation Fee plus the agreed success commission at closing. Both models are supported by an opportunity-specific buyer acquisition process built around active market execution.
