How It Works
Two ways to work with us
Most owners want one of two things: hand the sale off completely, or stay hands-on and run it themselves. Silver Surf is built to do both well.
We sell it for you
This is a traditional brokerage engagement, except every step runs on our software instead of guesswork. We price your business, prepare the documents, find and vet buyers, and run the deal through to close.
- Valuation and deal positioning
- Buyer sourcing, outreach, and vetting
- Negotiation and closing support
You run it, we equip you
Prefer to stay in the driver's seat? Use the same valuation, documentation, and buyer-matching software our brokers run internally, on your own timeline and at a fraction of the cost.
- Business valuation tool
- CIM generator for deal documents
- Buyer Finder to reach real buyers directly
Even our full-service engagements run on this technology. It is a big part of why our outcomes beat a traditional broker's: sharper documentation, better-matched buyers, and a process that does not depend on one person's Rolodex.
Our Tools
Everything you need to sell smarter
The same five tools our full-service brokers run on, available to you directly if you'd rather drive the sale yourself.
Get an accurate, defensible valuation using industry-standard methodologies and real comparable market data. Walk into every buyer conversation knowing exactly what your business is worth and why.
- Multiple methodologies: SDE, EBITDA multiples, and asset-based
- Real market comps and live industry benchmarks
- Shareable PDF report ready for brokers and advisors
A Confidential Information Memorandum is what serious buyers expect before they engage. Our generator produces a professional, compelling CIM that tells your business's story, covering financials, operations, market position, and growth potential, automatically.
- Formatting that rivals top-tier M&A advisory firms
- Covers financials, operations, market overview, and growth thesis
- Export as PDF, ready to send to qualified buyers
The biggest risk in any acquisition is owner dependency. We capture decades of informal knowledge, the processes, relationships, and decisions that live in your head, and transform them into written step-by-step guides for how your business runs, and a custom AI model your buyer can rely on from day one.
- Guided interviews to surface tacit expertise and institutional knowledge
- Written step-by-step guides for every process in your business, so a new owner can run it without you
- Custom LLM trained on your business's unique operational knowledge
Buyers pay more for organized, scalable businesses that don't depend on paper. We get your business set up with the right software, like a system to track all your customers and their history in one place, digital intake forms so new clients don't fill out paper, and automated workflows that keep things running without you, making it more attractive, easier to diligence, and far simpler to hand off.
- Customer tracking software setup and data migration from spreadsheets or paper
- Digital customer intake and automated workflows
- Organized records that pass buyer due diligence
Tell us what type of business you're selling and your zip code, and we surface a list of real, motivated buyers in your area along with their contact information. You can reach out to them directly from inside the tool, so you're not waiting on a broker to make introductions.
- Search by business type and location to find buyers near you
- Get verified contact information for each potential buyer
- Reach out directly from the tool without leaving the platform
