Yes — absolutely. When you work with Merit Investment Bank, you are never obligated to accept an offer or move forward with a transaction unless you choose to.
Selling your business is a deeply personal and strategic decision. Our role is to guide, advise, and advocate — but you remain in control every step of the way.
You Stay in Control
Throughout the sale process, you decide:
- When to move forward
- Which buyers to engage with
- What offers to consider or decline
- When — or if — to close a transaction
We’ll provide expert advice, market insights, and negotiation support to help you make informed decisions, but the final call is always yours.
No Pressure — Just Guidance
At Merit Investment Bank, we believe in empowerment, not pressure. Our job is to create options, not obligations. We help you understand your company’s value, explore the market, and evaluate opportunities — all while keeping your goals and comfort level at the center of the process.
Even after receiving offers, you can decide that the timing, structure, or buyer isn’t right — and that’s okay. Our process is designed to give you the clarity and confidence to make the best choice for you, your business, and your legacy.
A Process Built on Partnership
We view every engagement as a partnership built on trust, transparency, and respect. Whether you move forward with a sale or decide to wait, you’ll leave the process better informed, better prepared, and in full control of your next step.
