Questions
Frequently asked
No. The Mooresville Group provides advisory support and transaction preparation and coordinates with the client's licensed legal, tax, valuation, and transaction professionals. We are careful to stay within that role.
We coordinate business valuation with qualified valuation professionals and help owners understand the drivers of value. We do not issue formal opinions of value ourselves.
Yes — through buy-side advisory: search, target identification, outreach, screening, analysis, deal strategy, and coordination with your deal team.
Ideally years before a sale. The most valuable improvements — reducing owner dependence, strengthening margins, cleaning up reporting — take time to show up in the price.
Engagement structure is determined based on scope and the applicable regulatory framework and is discussed directly. We do not publish fee arrangements on the website.
In select situations, yes. The Mooresville Group may evaluate an acquisition as a principal buyer or alongside qualified capital partners. In that situation, we are a prospective buyer — not the seller's advisor — and the seller should rely on independent legal, tax, accounting, and valuation professionals.
