Built by Owners, for Owners
Selling a business is one of the hardest
transitions an owner can face.
We each built and sold companies of our own. The process was far more complex and emotional than we expected — full of moving parts, uncertainty, and moments where clarity was hard to find. What should have been a proud milestone often felt disjointed and impersonal.
Through those experiences, we noticed a pattern. Many business owners weren’t struggling because their companies lacked value — they were struggling because the process around them didn’t reflect that value clearly or fairly.
In 2020, we built Altra to change that. We wanted to create a structure that helps business owners navigate their transition with clarity, confidence, and respect for everything they’ve built.
Over time, we’ve learned that preparation defines outcome. The numbers matter, but so does the story behind them. When both are aligned, a transition becomes more than a sale — it becomes continuity.
Today, Altra helps established business owners prepare for and complete successful transitions that protect their people, strengthen their legacy, and create enduring value for generations to come.
We’ve lived this process ourselves, and we’ve built what we once needed: a disciplined, thoughtful way to help others exit on their own terms — and proud of what comes next.
Redefining the Path to a
Successful Transition
We Begin With Clarity
We start with a comprehensive Exit Readiness Audit™ to understand how the business performs, where value is hidden, and how it is perceived by buyers.
This analysis defines operational strength, financial visibility, and leadership continuity — the foundation of a strong transition.
We Build Structural Strength
Our work focuses on making the business transferable and sustainable. We streamline systems, define processes, and develop leadership capacity so the company operates with consistency and control — independent of the owner’s daily involvement.
We Refine Market Positioning
Businesses evolve, but their story doesn’t always keep up. We help owners articulate the company’s growth narrative, demonstrate performance with clarity, and position the business to reflect its current relevance and potential in the market.
We Connect With
the Right Buyers
When the business is ready, our AI Buyer Matching™ identifies qualified acquirers aligned with its scale, culture, and long-term vision. Each introduction is deliberate and discreet, creating meaningful conversations with buyers who see lasting value.
We Guide the
Transition
We remain involved through the transition process to ensure continuity for teams, customers, and ownership legacy.
Our structured approach provides clarity and confidence at every stage — from preparation to completion.

Our Mission
Our mission is to redefine business transitions by preserving owner legacies and creating enduring value for future generations.
Every transition carries two stories — the value that has been built and the legacy that remains. Altra exists to protect both. We help business owners strengthen their companies from within so that what they’ve created continues to thrive long after they step away.
The Altra Philosophy
At Altra, we believe value and legacy are inseparable.
A successful transition is defined not only by the outcome of a sale but by what continues afterward — the people, culture, and community impact that endure.
Our work ensures both remain strong.
