Wisable Inc.
Serving New York County, NY
Wisable is a sell-side M&A advisory and business brokerage firm for owners of small and lower middle market companies. We were spun out of the D. E. Shaw group's venture studio in New York, which means Main Street businesses get the research discipline, financial rigor, and buyer reach normally reserved for far larger transactions. WHO WE WORK WITH Businesses generating at least $1M in revenue and $100K in net profit, typically up to $20M in revenue. Collision and auto repair, HVAC, home services and skilled trades, healthcare, insurance, staffing, and light manufacturing. Most of our clients are selling for the first time, after decades of building something they care about. HOW WE ARE BUILT Industry advisors on every deal. Former CEOs and operators who have bought and sold companies in your sector work the engagement alongside us. They know what drives value in your industry and how acquirers actually think. A national buyer network. Our research team builds a buyer universe from scratch for every engagement: strategics, private equity platforms and their portfolio companies, independent sponsors, family offices, and qualified individual buyers. You review the list. Anyone you do not want approached, we strike. We do not post a listing and wait. Real fee alignment. No retainers, no monthly fees, no hourly billing. Apart from a one-time valuation fee at the start, we are paid a success fee only when your deal closes. Limited capacity. We take on a small number of engagements at a time so every client gets senior attention from valuation through closing. We work for sellers. Our job is to get you the best terms available in today's market, then get the deal across the line. Headquartered in New York. Buyers sourced nationally.

Buy or Sell a Service Business
Service businesses are some of the most commonly listed for sale on BizBuySell, and include a wide range of people and process driven companies that sell expertise or labor rather than physical products. Common businesses are home and commercial services (cleaning, inspections, renovation, HVAC, automotive services), business services (marketing, signage, printing, brokerage, coworking), route based and asset light operations (parking management, entertainment routes), and franchised service brands. These businesses typically operate on contract , project , or recurring service models, generating revenue through service fees, ongoing maintenance agreements, route accounts, memberships, or territory based franchises, often with relatively low inventory requirements and scalable staffing.
