About Us

Our goal is to help every business owner find the perfect successor.

Our Story

Boom was founded to solve a growing crisis: millions of small business owners work a lifetime to build something great—only to find they can't sell it when it matters most.

After seeing too many owners shut down, settle for less, or get stuck in broken broker-led processes, we knew there had to be a better way.

We built Boom to reimagine succession. Our team brings deep expertise in M&A, operations, and technology—and we understand that selling a business is as emotional as it is financial.

Our AI-powered Succession-as-a-Service platform combines strategic preparation, fractional talent, and a curated buyer network to help every owner find the right successor.

Today, we're proud to help business owners across the country unlock the value they've built and exit on their own terms.
