Know if a deal is right before you overcommit time and capital.
We help small-business buyers evaluate acquisitions, distilling each deal down to what makes or breaks it so you commit to the right ones and walk away from the rest early.
Buyers often make high-stakes decisions from incomplete information.
The issue is not a lack of effort. The challenge is knowing what matters now, what can wait, and what could change the deal.
Does the asking price rest on supportable earnings?
Does the asking price cover the same business the buyer expects to acquire?
How much capital will the buyer actually need at closing?
Structured support across the deal.
SHP helps buyers focus on what decides the deal.
Is this deal worth pursuing?
We get you to a decision in days.
Where is your capital most at risk?
We prioritize issues that reprice or kill.
How can profitability improve?
We target the levers that move margin.
Candid buy-side judgment for imperfect acquisition decisions.
SHP is built for sub-$10M acquisitions, where buyers often have to act before every question is answered.
We judge the deal on its own strengths and how well it fits your thesis.
We focus on the few facts that can change the decision, not analysis for its own sake.
We represent buyers only, with no seller ties and no fee tied to closing.
