What We Do

Five Ways We Architect Your Exit

BizQuisition is not a listing service. We are a full-spectrum exit advisory firm — with three integrated brands that cover every dimension of your transition.



Start the Conversation
01
Exit Readiness Audit™
Our proprietary 100-point Summit Score™ diagnostic assesses your business across five weighted categories — producing a clear roadmap from where you are to where buyers pay a premium.
→ $2,500–$5,000 · Credited at Listing
02
Full Exit Execution
Our 18-Play Framework manages every phase from valuation through closing — CIM creation, buyer vetting, LOI negotiation, due diligence management, and closing coordination.
→ $500K – $50M Enterprise Value
03
Pre-Sale Optimization
For businesses scoring 60–74 on the Summit Score™. A structured 6–12 month consulting engagement to fix valuation gaps, reduce owner dependency, and prime the business for a premium exit.
→ $1,500–$3,000/month Retainer
04
Franchise Development via FranMerica
For scalable businesses better positioned to grow through franchising. We evaluate franchisability, develop the FDD, and position the founder as a franchisor — tripling enterprise value before an exit.
→ Scale First · Sell the System
05
Acquisition Financing via LoansBloom
In-house SBA 7(a) lending. Buyers are pre-qualified in parallel with vetting — eliminating the most common cause of late-stage deal collapse. No other DMV broker offers this under one roof.

The Oval Difference

Not a testimonial — a story. How a bankruptcy call became an 8-figure franchise portfolio.

Confidential — Details Shared with Permission
17-Unit Hospitality Group — From Bankruptcy's Edge to Franchise-Ready Portfolio
Mid-Atlantic Region
17 Locations Triaged
Full Oval Ecosystem Deployed
8-Figure PE Exit in Progress

The Call: A Mid-Atlantic CPA referred a client facing imminent bankruptcy — a 17-unit hospitality group with multiple failing locations, mounting losses, and a landlord situation that had become untenable. Oval Business Group conducted a full operational and financial triage across all 17 units — reviewing P&Ls, lease terms, customer ratings, foot traffic, and asset values. No location was treated the same.

Track 1 · Immediate Closure
Terminate the bleeding — 3 units closed
Loss-generating, outdated, low-rated locations with no turnaround path. We negotiated structured landlord exits with temporary rent coverage agreements, protecting the client from default while transitioning with dignity.

Track 2 · Asset Recovery
Extract remaining value — FF&E disposition
Three units with no viable buyer profile were stripped of equipment and fixtures. Fire-sale FF&E disposition recovered capital, eliminated ongoing liability, and converted dead weight into working capital for the surviving portfolio.

Track 3 · Strategic Market Listing

Five locations with genuine buyer appeal were professionally packaged and taken to market via BizQuisition. Two sold. One is currently under LOI in active due diligence. Two remain in active process with qualified buyer interest.

Track 4 · Scale the Profitable Core

Client Stories

What Owners Say

Every seller who worked with us came with a problem. They left with a plan — and most with a check.

"The Summit Score™ was a revelation. I thought my business was ready to sell. Turns out I had three fixable gaps costing me $200K in valuation. We fixed them in 90 days and sold for more than my initial asking price."

Home Services Owner · Rockville, MD

"I referred a client to Jewan after exhausting every other option. BizQuisition didn't just find a buyer — they restructured the deal SBA-eligible through LoansBloom. We closed in 114 days. No other broker in DC could have done that."

"I called to discuss closing my restaurant. I left with a franchise development plan. Two years later I have six locations and a PE conversation on the table. Jewan saw something in my business I couldn't see myself."

Global Kinship Festival

An International Celebration of the Human-Animal Bond

Inspired by the Nepalese tradition of Kukur Tihar, the Global Kinship Festival is a three-day annual event held the last weekend of October — honoring the spiritual and emotional connection between humans and the animal kingdom. After successful pilot years in Virginia (2024–2025), the festival is now expanding into a worldwide movement of empathy, animal welfare, and cultural exchange.

🌍
Our Mission

To foster a global culture of gratitude toward animals through ritual, education, and community gathering — while highlighting local biodiversity and supporting animal rescue efforts.

The BizQuisition Difference

Why Owners Choose BizQuisition

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How long does a typical business sale take?+
Most engagements close between 90 and 180 days from listing, depending on deal complexity, buyer financing, and due diligence depth. Businesses that enter through the Exit Readiness Audit™ and score 75+ on the Summit Score™ consistently close faster — because the preparation work is done before the first buyer call. Deals requiring SBA financing through LoansBloom typically add 30–45 days to the close timeline.
Will my employees, suppliers, or competitors find out?+
Confidentiality is the first principle of every engagement. We market your business using a blind profile — no name, no address, no identifiable details. Buyers sign a mutual NDA before receiving any information, and the business name is released only after proof of funds and an intake call are completed. We have never had a confidentiality breach.
What if my books aren't perfectly clean?+
Most owner-operated businesses have mixed personal and business expenses running through the P&L. That's normal — and it's exactly what the financial recasting process is designed to address. We work with your CPA to normalize three years of financials, identify legitimate add-backs, and present Seller's Discretionary Earnings accurately. If books have structural issues, Pre-Sale Optimization may be recommended before listing.
Do you work with businesses outside the DMV?+
Yes. While our deepest market expertise is concentrated in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia tri-state area, we actively handle engagements in NJ, PA, DE, and the Texas markets (DFW, Austin, Houston). For national and multi-state transactions, we leverage our ProNova Partners licensing network to ensure proper representation across all jurisdictions.
What's the difference between a broker and an M&A advisor?+
Business brokers primarily handle Main Street transactions — typically under $2M — and often operate as listing services with minimal strategic involvement. M&A advisors work on larger, more complex transactions involving deal structuring, earn-outs, PE buyers, and institutional financing. BizQuisition operates at the intersection: M&A-level rigor and strategic architecture applied to the $500K–$50M market that most brokers underserve and most M&A firms ignore.
When should I start talking to you — even if I'm not ready to sell yet?+
The best time to start is 2–5 years before your intended exit. The Exit Readiness Audit™ is designed for exactly this scenario — giving you a clear, scored assessment of where your business stands today and a specific roadmap to maximize value before going to market. Sellers who prepare early consistently achieve 20–40% higher multiples. The Sherpa Call is free, confidential, and available even if you're years from a decision.
