The six signals in brief

Clarity
Sell-side language on the homepage, a named owner audience on the homepage, a published client-fit size range and a dedicated page on selling a business were all observed.
Depth
Named sector coverage was observed; a dedicated sector page was not observed in the reviewed public evidence.
Authority
Named adviser authorship and an adviser-featured video within the past twelve months were not observed in the reviewed public evidence; substantive sampled adviser biographies and a biography link to that adviser's own material could not be verified.
Currency
A public collection of owner-facing material and owner-education material were observed; owner education within the past twelve months, owner education within the past ninety days, sustained publishing across the year, a public signup for recurring insights and educational video were not observed in the reviewed public evidence.
Proof
Seller-representation example, a narrated seller case and a seller example linked to a named sector were all observed.
Access
A reachable contact route, a named-adviser contact route and an official LinkedIn company page link were observed; a seller-specific invitation was not observed in the reviewed public evidence.

What could not be verified

Some items could not be verified: substantive sampled adviser biographies and a biography link to that adviser's own material could not be fully inspected within the review window. Recent LinkedIn posting also requires a sign-in to inspect. Every such item is excluded from the published rates and from this profile's counts rather than counted against the firm.

Where to start

Drawn from this firm's public record and the agenda in chapter twelve:

  1. Give one named sector its own page, with sector-specific substance.
  2. Attach a current adviser's byline to educational material.
  3. Offer a public signup for recurring insights.
