Taking the pain out of selling your business:
Evolution founders Mike Dumke and Randy Hendershot realized early on that selling a business didn't have to be as painful, frustrating and financially risky for the seller as it all too often is.
Having each managed and sold several businesses, Mike and Randy share an uncommon passion for making things better for business owners selling a business.
Together they discovered a secret that enabled them to sell the company they were building together for a price well above market value.
Something very different happened when "the system" was applied...
Identifying unique elements of the business they were selling and telling its story clearly to a rifle-targeted list of prospects, they sold the company quickly to their ideal buyer who paid well above market value for it.
The proprietary system they've developed since then to replicate that sale encompases three main elements:
Strategic Marketing - Sharing your carefully crafted story through targeted media attracts only qualified buyers who quickly grasp the unique value of your business - And are more than happy to pay top dollar for it.
A Carefully Selected Buyers List - Telling your business' unique story confidentially to a qualified list of buyers carefully selected out of our extensive database in addition to other prospective buyers attracted by the Evolution Strategic Marketing System can have a direct impact on selling in the shortest time and at the highest price possible.
Step-by-Step Selling Process - The Evolution Workflow Process eliminates errors, shortens escrow time and helps assure a smooth closing lessening buyer financing issues and lapses in confidentiality until you are ready to inform your team.
The Evolution Business Selling System enables buyers to understand and appreciate the underlying value of your business and, more importantly, helps them picture what they could do with it to create their own unique value.
Not just a listing agency - "We partner with you throughout the entire selling process"
"We're passionate about helping small business owners get full value for the business they've worked so hard to build. Our mission is to make sure prospective business buyers truly understand all the value your business represents to them."
And that makes for a sale of your "baby" that you can feel great about.

Sacramento, California
Specialty Lumber Manufacturing Business Sacramento Area
$ 995,000
CF : $ 294,000
Well-established specialty lumber manufacturing business serving construction, land development, and agricultural-related end markets. The company operates as a behind-the-scenes supplier to large, national distributors rather than selling directly to contractors or end users. Its core product line is incorporated into downstream construction systems, creating repeat demand driven by standardized specifications and long-standing customer relationships. Operations emphasize consistent production, predictable inventory turns, and disciplined execution. The business holds a strong position in a niche segment of the lumber market, with a focused product mix built around durable, performance-driven wood products favored by distributors and end users alike. Over time, management intentionally refined its offerings toward higher-quality inputs aligned with customer preference, supporting pricing discipline and stable margins. Customers include multi-location distributors with regional and national footprints across the western United States. Operations are run from a single, efficient manufacturing facility in the greater Sacramento area. Inventory typically turns in under two weeks, limiting working capital requirements and supporting reliable lead times. Production is scheduled against known demand, and the company ships approximately 150 truckloads annually using third-party carriers. The business is currently operating below capacity, providing a clear path for incremental growth through modest capital investment or expanded throughput. Ownership is pursuing a sale in connection with planned retirement. In addition, the current general manager plans to retire as part of the transition. A buyer will need to assume day-to-day operational leadership or hire a replacement general manager. Sellers are committed to supporting an orderly transition and continuity for employees, customers, and suppliers. This opportunity may be well suited for an owner-operator or a buyer with manufacturing leadership experience seeking a niche platform with defensible market positioning and scalable operations.

Northern California Charter School Membership Business
$ 1,295,000
CF : $ 427,380
This Northern California business represents a membership-based business focused on supporting and advocating for flex-based personalized learning charter schools. The business serves over 100 member schools representing more than 100,000 students. Revenue is primarily generated through recurring membership dues, with additional income from partner sponsorships and annual conference events.

Aggregated data across its member network indicates that longer student participation in these models is associated with measurable academic improvement, including progress toward closing achievement gaps and, in some cases, performance at or above state benchmarks. These results are observed in contrast to traditional classroom-based systems with standardized instructional structures. The business operates with an asset-light structure and relies on external partners for key functions such as advocacy, data analysis, and communications. Member schools participate in a collaborative network, sharing practices and performance insights. Membership retention has historically been strong. The business presents potential opportunities for growth, including expansion into additional states, increased advocacy efforts, expanded partnerships, and enhanced digital outreach. Within its current market, recent regulatory changes may support additional membership growth. SBA Pre-Approved Lending for a Qualified Buyer!
