Expert guidance on selling your pet business, acquiring the right asset, and securing the capital to fuel growth. Advisor-led. Network-powered. Outcome-focused.
Three integrated practices, one team of senior advisors. We help you think it through — not just push you toward a transaction.
We guide owners through a disciplined sale process designed to maximise value and protect what you've built.
From sourcing the right target to closing on the right terms — we sit on your side of the table the entire way.
Advisory across the full capital stack — debt, equity, and hybrid structures — built around your business model.
The pet economy has outperformed almost every consumer category for two decades. We built IBCapitals to fund the operators who understand it best.
Every advisor at IBCapitals has operated, lent to, or invested in the pet sector. We speak your language and we understand your margins.
We position ourselves as your strategic partner — not as a broker chasing a fee. The work we do is built around your goals, your timing, and your definition of a good outcome.
We think about your long-term goals — succession, legacy, optionality — not just the next transaction.
Active relationships with strategic acquirers, private equity sponsors, and owner-operators across pet verticals.
SBA preferred lenders, commercial banks, and alternative capital sources who actually understand pet businesses.
We model your business the way it really earns — by visit, basket, contract, ARR, or recurring care plan.
We advise on what's right for you, even when it means slower timing or smaller fees for us.
Your business details stay private. We protect your reputation, your team, and your customer relationships.
Comprehensive valuation, ideal buyer profile, and a positioning narrative built around your business's strengths.
Marketing materials, financial package, virtual data room, and confidentiality protocols designed to protect your team.
Targeted outreach to qualified strategics, sponsors, and operators. Management presentations and competitive bidding.
Indicative bids, LOI negotiation, and deal structuring — including seller notes, earn-outs, and rollover equity where it benefits you.
Definitive agreements, diligence project management, and a clear transition plan for your team and customers.
Anonymised illustrative examples representative of recent advisory work. Full references available under NDA.
Ran a competitive process surfacing four qualified bidders. Closed at 12× EBITDA with a structured seller note that improved post-tax proceeds for the founder.
Sourced an off-market opportunity, structured a blended SBA + seller note transaction, and closed in 22 weeks from engagement.
Inventory-backed line of credit with a tier-one specialty lender — funded $4.8M in incremental Q4 revenue without dilution.
Operational repositioning advisory followed by a targeted sell-side process. Closed at 8× EBITDA after initial bids came in below 5×.
They told me when to slow down and when to push. That's the difference between a broker and an advisor.
The IBCapitals team brought us a target we never would have found, and structured a deal we could actually close.
We think about your long-term goals, not just the next transaction. Sometimes the right answer is to wait — and we'll say so.
Our network of buyers, lenders, sponsors, and industry operators becomes your unfair advantage from day one.
We advise on what's best for you — even when it means slower timing or smaller fees for us. Your goals drive the engagement.
Your business details stay private. We protect your reputation, your team, and your customer relationships throughout.
We stay engaged through close and beyond — covenants, refinancings, follow-on deals. The relationship doesn't end at signing.
Our advisors have built, sold, and financed pet businesses themselves. Every mandate is led — and worked — by a principal.
Free, confidential initial consultation — no obligation. Calls answered by senior advisors, not staff.
