Selling a world-class company to institutional buyers that are designed to overwhelm the founder can be like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Navigating the imbalance of power between buyer and seller, especially when the founder is selling a business for the very first time, requires a shield: Optima Mergers & Acquisitions.
What kills deals in the final stretch is almost always psychological. When the founder experiences an emotional transition selling their business, which can often threaten a deal, this can be known as the identity crisis of the founder.
Lane Carrick, Managing Director of Optima Mergers & Acquisitions, has been honored with the prestigious IBBA Platinum Award in recognition of outstanding business brokerage performance during 2025.
