For Buyers

Access quality deal flow from vetted brokers and bankers across the middle market. Geneva Holdings gives every buyer — from PE firms to search funds — a level playing field.

1.25% Flat Success Fee

Unlike the traditional Lehman formula where fees can reach 5% or more on smaller deals, Geneva Holdings charges a simple, flat 1.25% success fee on total enterprise value — paid only when a deal closes.

Traditional Lehman Formula

5% of first $1M, 4% of second $1M, etc. Complex and expensive.
