The decision to sell your business is a complicated one.
Selling your business is one of the most important decisions of your life. We take this seriously and understand our role as stewards of your legacy.
Unlike other private equity firms, we will retain your employees, invest in growth, maintain your culture, and remain flexible around your objectives and involvement following a transaction.
We care about more than the valuation of your company. We care about the team and people that made your organization great. With Evergreen, your people will be taken care of, and your business — your legacy — will live on and thrive.

The first step would be an introductory call with us to learn more about each other and assess if there is a fit. Following that, we execute an NDA and review basic financial information to get to the point of submitting a letter of intent (LOI) which can happen in as quickly as a couple of weeks. Following a signed LOI, we will complete due diligence within 60 days and close the acquisition.
