How the Process Works

Simple Steps to Partner with GearSteady

We designed our acquisition process to be transparent, efficient, and respectful of your time.

1

Sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement

The process begins with a confidential conversation. Once an NDA is signed, we can review your shop’s information and begin exploring a potential partnership.

2

Letter of Intent

If both sides agree to move forward, we issue a Letter of Intent (LOI) outlining the key terms of the potential acquisition.

3

Asset Purchase Agreement

Following the LOI, we prepare the Asset Purchase Agreement, which defines the final purchase terms and details of the transaction.

4

Employee Announcement

Before closing, we work closely with you to introduce GearSteady to your team. Our experienced leadership team helps answer questions and ensure a smooth transition for employees.

5

Closing

Once the final agreements are complete, we move forward with closing and officially welcome your shop into the GearSteady network.

6

Post-Closing Support

After closing, our operations and management teams provide ongoing support to help your shop continue growing and serving the community.
