Sellside Advisory
Sellside Advisory
Selling an agency is different from selling almost any other business. Value sits across clients, talent, reputation, capabilities, culture, and the way those pieces work together. Standard Proxy combines an operator’s understanding of agencies with the judgment and discipline required to navigate a transaction well.
Our Approach
We understand what buyers see — without losing sight of what you built
The strongest outcomes start with understanding the business properly: what makes it differentiated, where the value sits, and how the market is likely to view it. We work closely with founders and shareholders to bring clarity to the decisions that matter and represent the business with conviction throughout the process.
