About Which M&A Advisor
Which M&A advisory firms may legally sell your business, and how to check before you sign
What is on this site
One question, "m&a advisory firms", answered with a comparison that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- The M&A broker exemption: $25m EBITDA or $250m revenue: Most US M&A advisory firms are unregistered and lawfully so, under a statutory exemption with hard thresholds and a long list of disqualifiers. What they are.
- How to check an M&A advisory firm before you sign: Two free public databases, one written question and the four things to read in an engagement letter. Ten minutes that most sellers never spend.
- Conflicts to name before you appoint an M&A advisory firm: Dual representation, buyer financing, proceeds management and buyer-group formation are all restricted or disclosable. What to surface at engagement, not at closing.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any advisory firm, broker-dealer or regulator named here, and it is not a law firm. Nothing on it is legal advice or advice on any transaction, and the statutory summaries here are a starting point for a conversation with your own counsel, not a substitute for one. We take no commission from any firm in this comparison and carry no paid placements. Statutory thresholds carry their own inflation adjustment from 29 December 2027, and every statement carries the date we read the primary source.
