Expert Business Brokers & Brokerage Services

Chelsis Financial offers a complimentary Assessment of Value that reviews your financial statements—including income statements, cash flow, balance sheets, and seller's discretionary earnings—for the current year and prior three years. We also factor in market trends, industry benchmarks, and tangible asset values to deliver an independently validated, defensible asking price.

Most business sales take between six months and two years, depending on the industry, asking price, market conditions, and how well-prepared the business is for sale. Chelsis Financial works with you upfront to optimize your business's readiness—reducing owner dependence and building management depth—which can significantly shorten the timeline and improve outcomes.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of how we operate. Your business identity is never disclosed until a buyer has been screened, qualified, and signed a non-disclosure agreement. All communications, assessments, and marketing materials are handled with strict discretion so your employees, customers, and competitors remain unaware throughout the process.

We have experience across a wide range of industries, including IT and MSP businesses, fuel distribution, water purification manufacturing, dental practices, auto services, aerospace manufacturing, retail, healthcare testing equipment, cell tower services, metal fabrication, and more. If you own an operating business and are considering a sale, we can help.

A Quick Exit prioritizes speed and immediate liquidity, often resulting in a lower headline valuation in exchange for a faster, cleaner close. A standard transaction maximizes value but may involve earn-outs, seller financing, or extended timelines. Chelsis Financial helps you understand which deal structure aligns with your goals and financial priorities before you accept any offer.

Yes—preparation significantly impacts both your asking price and the quality of buyers you attract. We advise on reducing owner dependence, strengthening your management team, improving financial reporting, and addressing the eight key value drivers that buyers and lenders focus on. The earlier you start preparing, the stronger your position when you go to market.

We maintain an active Buyer Registry connected to a network of over 2,000 businesses in Indiana and the Midwest. We also promote listings through curated buyer networks, national online marketplaces, and industry-specific channels. Every prospective buyer is screened and qualified against financial capability and acquisition criteria before accessing sensitive business information.
