Broker Biography
Introduction
John M. Salony is an M&A Advisor and Business Broker serving business owners across of lower middle market and main street businesses. He works with all types of business owners and family businesses.
John brings an institutional-grade skill set to owner-operated businesses. Before founding his advisory practice, he served as Vice President in the global corporate investment banking group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and held financial-analysis roles at several Fortune 50 and smaller companies. His core expertise spans business valuation, market analysis, deal negotiation, financial analysis, and arranging and sourcing buyer financing. As a former small-business owner himself, John understands firsthand the work and sacrifice behind building a company — and what it means to sell one well.
Selling a business, or an operating division of one, is one of the most consequential and stressful decisions an owner ever makes. John removes that weight through a structured, team-based, project-managed process. When you engage him, he handles the listing and confidential marketing of your business end to end, brings forward multiple qualified buyers, and guides the sale from valuation to close. His commission is based solely on performance — he is paid when you get results.
Owners considering a sale work with John to:
- Understand the options and strategies that meet their financial and legacy goals
- Build a sound, defensible plan and position the business's unique strategic value
- Maintain confidentiality and identity discretion to reduce competitive risk
- Reach and qualify the buyers who will pay the most for the business
- Arrange and place financing for those buyers to get deals closed
