What If Your Business Doesn’t Fit Our Criteria?
My motivation is simple: to help every founder or owner in the music products industry realize the best possible reward for their years—often decades—of hard work, passion, and sacrifice. Whether or not your business fits the 802 Labs acquisition criteria, I want to help you explore and understand your options and achieve an outcome you can be proud of.
If Your Business is Cash-Flowing
If your company is cash-flowing, meaning that it is producing net profit after all expenses are paid, but doesn’t align perfectly with our criteria, I can still help by connecting you with prospective buyers who may be a better match for your business, business brokers, or M&A advisors experienced in working with businesses like yours.
Additionally, in the short term, I have very limited availability as a management consultant to help you improve your company’s cash-flowing position.
If Your Business is not Cash-Flowing
For businesses that are not currently cash-flowing, are not operating, or are intellectual property, I am equally committed to helping you finding a path forward:
Businesses with Hard Assets: if your business is in debt and owns “hard” assets such as machinery, tooling, buildings, or vehicles, I can introduce you to debt-restructuring specialists who may help stabilize your finances or position your assets for maximum value.
Businesses without Hard Assets: If your business is not in debt, but is not sufficiently cash-flowing, unprofitable, pre-revenue, not currently operating, or primarily consists of a brand or other intellectual property, we may be able to connect you with potential buyers who specialize in these types of opportunities.
Engagement Fee for Advisory Services
My commitment to helping M.I. founders and owners succeed is at the heart of everything we do at 802 Labs. Providing personalized introductions and advisory support requires significant time and focus. To ensure I can dedicate the attention your situation deserves, we charge a nominal engagement fee for these advisory services. This fee reflects the opportunity cost of spending time supporting your business over others and ensures I can deliver thoughtful, high-quality guidance. Depending on the nature of our engagement beyond initial advising, we may discuss additional fees for ongoing services or sharing in the proceeds of an eventual deal to reduce your upfront expenses related to selling your business.
My goal is always to help you achieve an outcome that far exceeds this investment.
My Promise to You
Your business represents years of dedication, passion, and perseverance. Whether or not your company fits the 802 Labs acquisition criteria, my goal is to help you realize the best possible reward for your hard work.
