We’re passionate about helping you grow and build an empire. Start with VALUE and create impact.
I’m Melissa Gragg, a business valuation expert and deal negotiator with 20+ years in the lower-middle market. I don’t sell your company - I protect your number. Our Reality Check Valuation gives owners a fast, defensible range of value (not a wishful guess), pressure-tested against cash flow, risk, and real-world comps. No bulky report. No commission bias. Just clear analysis you can explain, defend, and win with in negotiations.

I’m Michael Sauer, a business attorney who turns clarity into clean deals. I work alongside the Reality-Check Valuation team to convert your defendable range of value into purchase agreements that protect it - tight NDAs, smart structures (asset vs. stock), and payment terms that won’t unravel in due diligence.
Your deal needs two things: a defendable number and contracts that protect it. Michael Sauer designs the legal framework - LOI guardrails, reps & warranties, indemnities, escrows, earnouts, and working-capital mechanics - so the price you negotiate is the price you keep.
We can guide you strategically to Build & Exit.
