M&A Advisory
Whether you are considering selling your business, acquiring another company, or optimizing your debt capital structure, a transaction can materially affect both your business and your personal financial future.
Centennial Peaks Capital advises owners and management teams on lower-middle-market transactions typically ranging from $10 million to $200 million. We are deeply engaged throughout the process, bringing senior-level experience and hands-on advocacy to help them make informed decisions and pursue the best outcome.
We are intentionally high-touch, not high-volume. All details receive senior-level attention because even a seemingly minor oversight can materially affect economics or risk long after closing.
Our job is more than executing a transaction. We build your leverage, protect your interests, maximize your valuation, and keep you focused on running your business.

Sell-Side Advisory
Create competition. Establish market value. Choose the right partner.
Selling a business is one of the most consequential financial decisions an owner will ever make. One buyer can tell you what that buyer is willing to pay. A well-run competitive process tells you much more about what the market is willing to pay and gives you choices on price, structure, partner, and certainty of closing.
Centennial identifies and engages qualified buyers, creates genuine competition, and analyzes every offer. We help owners look beyond headline price to deal structure, certainty of closing, strategic fit, and the terms that determine what they actually take home.
For owners retaining rollover equity or continuing with the business after a transaction, selecting the right buyer is especially important. You are not simply exiting a company; you are choosing a long-term partner. We help you evaluate the culture, people, track record, and capitalization behind the offers to determine which partner best aligns with your objectives.
An M&A process is demanding and time-consuming. Centennial manages it from beginning to end, coordinating legal, accounting, tax, and other advisors while keeping buyers and diligence moving. The goal is straightforward: run a rigorous process without allowing the transaction to impact business performance.
We negotiate aggressively on your behalf across valuation, structure, working-capital pegs, earnouts, rollover equity, indemnification, and other important terms. We absorb much of the friction in those negotiations so you can protect the relationship with the buyer without compromising the economics.
The objective is straightforward: maximize your financial outcome, create real options, and help you choose the buyer and structure that best fit what you want next.

Capital Solutions
The debt structure and terms you have today may not be the ones you would choose today.
Businesses often arrange financing at one point in their development and leave it in place for years. As the company grows, its credit profile may improve and debt markets may change, creating an opportunity to improve those legacy terms.
Centennial helps owners determine whether their current capital structure remains competitive. When better alternatives are available, we run a competitive process among lenders to improve pricing, terms, flexibility, or maturity.
Potential outcomes can include:
Centennial evaluates commercial lenders, private credit providers, family offices, and other capital sources to find the financing structure that best fits the business.
In many cases, the objective isn't to add leverage. It's simply to make sure the capital you already rely on is less expensive, more flexible, and better structured for where the business is going.

We approach potential targets, assess what a business is worth, structure and negotiate the transaction, and manage the process through due diligence and closing.
Most importantly, we take much of the transaction burden off the owner and management team. Centennial coordinates the parties and advisors involved, keeps the process moving, identifies issues early, and helps management remain focused on operating and growing the business.
