Direct Acquisition FAQ

XitSource presents itself as a direct buyer rather than a sell-side business broker. A direct transaction does not create a XitSource brokerage commission for representing the seller. Owners should still evaluate legal, tax, accounting, financing, and other transaction costs that may apply.

A direct process can reduce broad market exposure because the owner begins with an identified buyer. Absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed because advisers, lenders, landlords, employees, regulators, or other parties may need information as the transaction progresses.

The review can include sustainable cash flow, asset quality, customer concentration, owner dependence, lease terms, liabilities, capital needs, market conditions, growth opportunities, and post-closing risk. No single multiple applies to every business.

XitSource evaluates opportunities based on the complete business and transaction. Location matters because local demand, labor, competition and operating requirements affect underwriting, but there is no rigid geographic boundary.

There is no guaranteed closing timeline. Timing depends on the quality of information, diligence, transaction complexity, financing or capital, legal documentation, and any required third-party approvals.

Transition planning is evaluated transaction by transaction. Staffing, tenant obligations, management continuity, licenses, customer relationships, and operational requirements can all affect the proposed transition.
