Preparing a Portfolio for Sale
Buyers pay premium multiples for clean, well-documented portfolios — and discount everything else. We help you address compliance gaps, tighten your residual reporting, and improve the KPIs buyers scrutinize most (attrition, concentration, and processor terms) before you go to market, not after an offer comes in low.
Valuation and Pricing Strategies
Multiples on merchant portfolios can vary dramatically based on attrition, merchant concentration, and processor relationships. We benchmark your portfolio against current market data and buyer appetite — not outdated industry rules of thumb — so you know what it's actually worth before you negotiate.
Negotiating the Sale
Price is only one part of the deal. Payment structure (upfront vs. earnout), residual buyout terms, and post-sale obligations can make or break the real value you walk away with. We negotiate on your behalf so the fine print doesn't erase the headline number.
Transition and Handover
A poorly handled transition can spook merchants and trigger attrition that erodes the value the buyer just paid for. We manage the handover process so your merchants stay put and your reputation stays intact.
Buying a Merchant Portfolio
Valuation and Due Diligence Process
Not all portfolios are priced fairly and the red flags aren't always obvious. We dig into processing volume, residual durability, merchant lifespan, churn, and contractual obligations to make sure you're not overpaying for a book that looks better on paper than in practice.
Negotiating the Acquisition
We represent buyers in structuring deals that protect downside risk — from earnout terms to indemnification — so you're not left holding the bag if the numbers don't hold up post-close.
Transition and Integration
A messy account transfer can tank retention fast. We manage the merchant transition so accounts move over cleanly, minimizing disruption and protecting the ROI on your acquisition.
Post-Acquisition Growth & Optimization
Acquiring a portfolio is just the starting point — the real return comes from what happens next. We help buyers identify cross-sell and upsell opportunities within the acquired merchant base, tighten margins on underperforming accounts, and build a plan to reduce attrition going forward.

How It Works
A straightforward, confidential process from first conversation to a funded close — with an experienced broker in your corner every step of the way.
01
Share Your Portfolio Details
You provide your residual reports and basic portfolio metrics. Everything stays strictly confidential — no merchants are contacted, no information is shared with any buyer without your explicit approval.
02
Receive an Independent Valuation
As your broker, we benchmark your portfolio against current market data and active buyer appetite to deliver an honest, unbiased valuation — typically within 48 hours. You'll know exactly where you stand before any buyer conversation begins.
03
We Negotiate and Manage the Close
We connect you with qualified buyers from our network, negotiate deal terms on your behalf, and manage the due diligence and paperwork through to a signed agreement — so you get the best possible outcome without navigating it alone.
