Acquisition

Questions

Common questions

How is this different from a broker?

A broker is usually paid by the seller, as a percentage of price. Our fee is flat and paid by you, so we have no reason to push a higher price or a quick close.

Do you handle the legal and tax work?

No. You need an aviation attorney for the purchase agreement and a tax adviser for structure. We coordinate with both and can recommend firms.

Can you help me sell my current aircraft?

We can advise on timing and positioning, and introduce you to brokers, but we do not list aircraft for sale.

What aircraft do you cover?

Turboprops and business jets, from a single-engine turboprop through super-midsize jets.
