This might sound harsh, but it's the most useful thing I can tell a CEPA working with a lower middle market client.
Three things end buyer interest before a conversation ever starts:
• Owner dependence. The business can't run without the founder in it daily.
• Customer concentration. Losing one or two accounts would gut the company.
• Key person risk. A single employee drives outsized revenue, with no retention plan behind them.
None of these get fixed in the 90 days before a letter of intent. They get fixed years earlier - which is exactly where CEPAs do their best work, and exactly why the Value Acceleration Methodology matters so much in this segment.
I wrote about what the lower middle market actually looks like right now for the Exit Planning Institute blog: who the buyers are, what they're screening for, and where the CEPA-M&A Advisor partnership creates the most value for an owner.
