Main Street M&A

The Operating System for Main Street M&A.

6 million U.S. businesses will face an ownership change by 2035. Today, 92% of owners who exit just close the doors. CandaceAI gives brokers, buyers and sellers one system to get the deal done instead.

Closing Is the Default Exit Plan. Nobody Planned It That Way.

Of about 510,000 U.S. small and midsize businesses that exited in 2022, only 25,500 sold. The rest had customers, staff and cash flow. The deal just never came together.

Why it happens

  • Brokers juggle disconnected tools.

  • Sellers show up with messy books.

  • Buyers show up with no plan.

  • Every tool fixes one slice. Nobody runs the deal.

Built for every side of the deal

Ready Sellers First. Then One Place for the Whole Deal.

Many M&A tools serve one side. Candace starts by getting owners ready to sell, then lines up brokers, sellers and buyers in one secure, auditable workspace.

Advisor OS

Every Deal.
One Pipeline.

Advisor OS runs the deal from intake to close. See every deal at a glance and know what needs attention, without switching systems.

  • Six stages, one deal record
  • Status, tasks and milestones in one view
  • Every step leaves an auditable record
