Selling a Media & Creative Business is Complex

Creative businesses have unique dynamics most buyers don’t account for. We do.

Client Relationship Transfer

Long-term client trust doesn't transfer automatically. We ensure contracts and relationships carry over without disruption.

Talent Retention

Your team is your product. We structure deals that give key people a reason to stay and perform.

IP & Content Rights

Content libraries, brand assets, and licensing agreements need careful handling. We make sure nothing gets left behind.

Founder Dependency

When the brand is built around you, stepping back is complicated. We manage that transition so value doesn't walk out with you.

Media & Creative Business Sale FAQs

Everything you need to know about selling your media business to NBacquire. Still unsure? Get in touch.

Media businesses are typically valued on revenue multiples of 0.8x–2x or EBITDA multiples of 4x–8x. Key factors include client concentration, recurring retainers, team stability, and growth trajectory.

Client contracts are a core part of your business value. We assess contract length, renewal rates, and concentration carefully — and help you present them in the strongest possible light to buyers.

Not necessarily. Some founders prefer a full exit, others stay on for a transition period. We structure the handover around what works best for you, your team, and the incoming owner.

Recurring retainer income, a strong client roster, a capable team that isn't founder-dependent, and clear IP ownership. We help you identify and strengthen these areas before going to market.
