Business owners
Partners who built it together can usually divide it the same way
Buyouts, client lists, a vendor who stopped paying, or a family company deciding who runs it next.
Courtrooms are slow and public, and a lawsuit between owners often costs more than what it was about. A mediation puts the numbers, the contracts and the people on one table for an afternoon.
Bring the operating agreement and the last two years of statements. We’ll ask for them on the intake call and keep the list short.
How it runs
Two owners or several, in the same session
We keep to the numbers you bring, not our own opinions
An agreement your attorney or accountant can turn into the final papers
9 hrs
across up to three sessions, one flat fee each
Common questions on the table
What owners work out with us
A buyout price and a payment schedule
How the business is valued, who pays, and over how long.
Who keeps which clients
A split of accounts, employees and equipment you can both put in writing.
A family company’s next chapter
Who runs it, who owns it and what happens to the ones who don’t.
A vendor or customer who won’t pay
A payment plan, a credit or a clean exit, without a collections suit.
What we don’t do for owners
A mediator can’t value your company, draft your operating agreement or tell either of you what a clause means. We’ll suggest you each ask your own lawyer and accountant, and we’ll bring in an outside appraiser only if you both ask us to.
Outside experts are billed to you directly and aren’t part of the mediation fee.
