“We’ve had a couple of approaches… but they came to nothing.”

By M&A Advisory

We hear this a lot.
From agency owners who’ve built great businesses.
From founders who’ve had inbound interest but no follow-through.
From leaders who quietly wonder, “Was that it?”

The reality is, not all buyer approaches are created equal. Some are casual. Some are fishing. Some are genuinely strategic, but without the right chemistry or structure, they stall.

And often, it’s not about your business being ‘wrong. It’s about the process being reactive, not strategic.

At M&A Advisory, we work with founders to shift the balance.
From passive to proactive.
From inbound to intentional.
From speculative chats to serious, qualified interest.

If you’ve had a couple of approaches that didn’t go anywhere, it might be time for a different kind of conversation; one designed around your goals, not just a buyer’s agenda.

Let’s talk. We’re here to help make it happen. For real this time.
