Ravisha Gupta — Founder, M&A Advisor & Commercial Financing Advisor
One advisor across the whole transaction — valuation, buyers, and the financing stack that makes the deal fundable.

Sell my business →Find, screen, and evaluate acquisition targets that fit your strategy — and your financing profile — before you spend a dollar on diligence.
Buy a business →CSBFL, BDC, and bank term debt — structured into a capital stack that lenders actually approve. Financeability tested before any bank sees the file.
Explore financing →Cash-flow loans, ABL, operating lines, and working capital through transition.

A pre-submission check: can this deal be funded as structured — and how do we fix it?
One advisor across the whole transaction — no hand-offs, no black box.

I approach qualified buyers who fit strategically and financially — never a blast list, never tire-kickers.
Offers negotiated, financing structured and stress-tested, diligence managed through funding and close.

Why it works: A clean structure with a fast lender-approval path.
Founder ready to exit after three decades. Buyer needed the price bridged without over-leveraging day one.
Why it works: The seller reaches full valuation without over-leveraging the buyer.
