Welcome to the next chapter of your business.
We help owners confidentially sell their companies — no up-front fees, strictly success-based, completely on your terms.
Exclusively sell-side. A disciplined path from first conversation to close.
The Baker Group represents one side of the table: the owner. You keep running the company while we quietly manage every step of bringing a qualified acquirer to a signed close.
Identify Prospects & Align
We research the industry, draw on an established national database of qualified strategic and financial acquirers, introduce credentials, and agree on terms together.
Prepare for Acquirer Review
We compile a confidential business profile, secure NDAs from every interested party, and submit the client prospectus — quietly, while you keep running the company.
Negotiate Offers & Structure
Acquirer–owner meetings, structured discussions, valuation, the Letter of Intent, and a disciplined due-diligence process designed to protect what you've built.
Close the Transaction
Purchase agreement, signing, and close. The owner receives cash or stock as agreed — and the next chapter of the business begins.
Nearly four decades of quiet, careful deal-making.
Founded in 1988 by Jerry E. Baker, The Baker Group has guided more than 200 owners through the confidential sale of their companies across a wide range of industries. Trust, honesty, and a steady personal hand have always been the heart of every transaction we lead — and that ethos still defines how we work today.
Now part of Ad Astra Equity.
After nearly four decades serving owners, The Baker Group has been acquired by Ad Astra Equity — a merger & acquisition advisory firm working with founder-owned and middle-market businesses across the country.
The same founder-led, trust-first approach continues — now backed by Ad Astra's broader buyer network, valuation expertise, and strategic growth advisory capabilities. Existing relationships and engagements carry forward without interruption.
