Human-Centered Approach – We understand that selling your business means more than a financial transaction. You’re navigating a profound life transition — stepping away from the identity you’ve built over years or decades, grieving the loss of daily purpose, and reimagining who you are beyond “business owner.” We recognize the complexity of this shift and help you navigate not just the sale,
but the meaningful transition to your next chapter.
Legacy Transition Focus – Accomplishment of your personal goals for the company and your employees post-transaction matter as much as the financial metrics of the deal.
Institutional-Grade Execution – We’re not a volume shop. We invest the time to deeply understand your business and market, then strategically identify and engage the right buyers — not just any buyer, but the one who will steward your company, care for your employees, and build on your legacy. This targeted approach creates genuine competition for your asset and delivers premium outcomes.
Deep Financial Acumen & Sector Insight – We’ve invested in professionals with credentials and experience that rival the country’s largest investment banks — because lower middle market business owners deserve institutional-quality advisors working on their most important transaction. That expertise shows up in every conversation, every negotiation, and every outcome.

REAG specializes in M&A and Private Capital Market advisory services for the lower middle market. Our core services include sell-side representation, buy-side representation, strategic planning, and capital advisory. We guide business owners through critical transitions, whether you're planning an exit, seeking acquisition opportunities, or developing long-term strategic plans for your company.
As M&A brokers and investment bankers specializing in the lower middle market, REAG provides comprehensive advisory services beyond simple business brokerage. We offer a strategic, consultative approach tailored to complex transactions, leveraging our team's decades of combined experience, industry certifications, and extensive professional network. Unlike typical brokers, we provide end-to-end guidance throughout the entire M&A process, including business valuation, market positioning, deal structuring, and negotiation.
We primarily serve established businesses in the lower middle market across various industries. Our clients are typically mature companies with proven business models seeking ownership transitions, strategic acquisitions, or comprehensive planning. While we have expertise across many sectors, we maintain a focus on businesses where we can deliver exceptional value through our knowledge and connections.
Our sell-side process is comprehensive and tailored to each client. Generally, it includes: initial assessment and valuation, preparation of marketing materials (including a Confidential Information Memorandum), strategic marketing to qualified buyers, management of confidentiality, coordination of buyer meetings, negotiation of offers, facilitation of due diligence, and guidance through closing. We manage all aspects of the transaction while allowing you to maintain focus on running your business.
While each transaction is unique, the typical timeframe for selling a business ranges from 6-12 months from engagement to closing. Factors affecting this timeline include business complexity, industry conditions, market dynamics, and deal structure. We work diligently to achieve optimal outcomes while minimizing disruption to your operations, maintaining confidentiality, and securing the best possible terms.
Our buy-side services help clients identify, evaluate, and acquire suitable target companies. We develop clear acquisition criteria, conduct targeted outreach to potential acquisition candidates, screen opportunities, facilitate negotiations, manage due diligence, and support transaction structuring and financing. Our approach provides access to proprietary deal flow and off-market opportunities that align with your strategic goals.
REAG serves clients both nationwide and internationally, with particular expertise in regions including Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Lancaster, Grand Rapids, and beyond. Our global advisory capabilities allow us to facilitate cross-border transactions and provide international market insights for clients seeking opportunities abroad. Our advisory support transcends location through a combination of in-person meetings, virtual consultations, and innovative technology. We meet clients where they are, both geographically and in terms of their business needs, whether for domestic or international transactions.
Our compensation structure typically includes an initial engagement fee and a success fee based on the final transaction value. This alignment of interests ensures we're motivated to maximize value while providing the highest level of service. We provide transparent fee structures customized to each client's specific situation and discuss all details upfront during our initial consultations.
Our success is built on several key factors: our team's extensive experience and certifications in M&A, our proven and fluid process tailored to each client's unique situation, our commitment to clear communication throughout the transaction, and our authentic, collaborative approach. We prioritize understanding your goals and developing customized strategies to achieve them.
REAG maintains deep industry connections through significant involvement with premier professional organizations. We are a proud Title Partner sponsor of the Exit Planning Summit and maintain active leadership roles within the Exit Planning Institute (EPI). Our team members hold leadership positions with M&A Source, including Board Chair roles, and have received prestigious industry recognitions such as the Gold Club Award and M&A Source Service Award. These affiliations, combined with our active participation in the Association for Corporate Growth chapters across multiple cities, give us unparalleled access to industry networks, deal flow, and specialized expertise across numerous sectors.
