Our Services

Sell Side Advisory – Full Service

As a sell side advisor, we draw upon our sports & fitness expertise and years of experience to develop and implement a custom marketing strategy for your company based on its size, industry, and your objectives. In most cases, this involves us proactively marketing your company to a highly targeted list of prospective buyers or investors to help you maximize the value of your company.

Sell Side Advisory – Listing Service

Our Listing Service blends the comprehensive support of our full service package with the cost-effectiveness of a ‘For Sale by Owner’ method, offering sellers significant savings on commission fees. At Sports Club Advisors, we manage the preparation process, develop financial schedules, compose a summary confidential information memorandum, showcase your business across the major listing platforms, and secure Nondisclosure Agreements from prospective buyers. For each Nondisclosure Agreement, the ‘For Sale by Owner’ journey begins.
