“Navigating the purchase of a business is a complex and deeply personal decision. Richard and the team at Qurate provided me with more than just expert business advice – they truly cared about how this acquisition would impact me as a whole person. Richard’s vast experience meant there was no scenario he hadn’t encountered before, and his strategic guidance gave me the confidence to move forward, knowing that every option had been carefully explored. With Qurate’s support, I didn’t just make a sound business decision – I made the right decision for me. Their ability to blend commercial insight and expertise with genuine care is what sets them apart.”
Brooke Chapman
Director, Customerit“Buying out my original business partner was a big moment, financially, emotionally, and professionally. Richard and the Qurate Advisory team helped guide me through the entire process with a steady hand. He brought clarity to the negotiation, ensured both parties felt heard, and ultimately helped us reach a deal that worked for everyone. What could have been a stressful or damaging process turned into a successful transition. The relationship with my former partner remains intact. That’s a credit to how Richard managed the process: with care, fairness, and deep commercial insight”

Why the best business exits start long before the decision to sell
Business transactionsMost owners start preparing too late. By the time the gaps are visible, the runway has already narrowed — and buyers will price every unresolved issue as risk.
How investment committees assess your business
Business transactionsFor many founders, selling their company is the largest financial event of their lives. Most prepare for the buyer sitting across the table. Far fewer prepare for the room they will never enter.
What happens after the sale?
Business transactionsThe most successful exits aren’t just about getting the best price. They’re about making sure you land well – financially, emotionally, and personally – in whatever comes next.
