Marigold Resources

Marigold Resources is a business brokerage and mergers & acquisitions advisory firm that has been operating since 2011, serving business owners and buyers primarily in the Quad Cities region and beyond. The company specializes in helping small to mid-sized business owners plan and execute successful exit strategies, whether they are looking to sell their business or acquire one. Marigold Resources positions itself as a full-service M&A advisory partner, guiding clients through every stage of the transaction process — from initial business valuation and buyer-readiness assessments to deal negotiation and closing. The firm offers proprietary tools such as the Value Builder Score assessment, which evaluates a business across eight key value drivers to identify gaps and estimate current market value, as well as a Personal Readiness to Exit assessment and a Freedom Point Score to help owners understand the financial weight of their business within their overall net worth. These tools are offered on a complimentary basis as part of Marigold's client engagement approach. The advisory team, led by principals Chris and Todd, is known for its hands-on, process-driven methodology that has earned a strong reputation among both buyers and sellers. Client testimonials highlight the firm's ability to manage complex negotiations, connect sellers with a broad network of buyers ranging from private investment groups to publicly traded companies, and provide strategic counsel over multi-year engagements. Marigold Resources has advised businesses across a variety of industries, including lumber, software, and facility maintenance services. The firm's track record includes a significant volume of completed transactions measured in millions of dollars sold, with competitive average days-on-market and strong asking price multiples relative to profits. Marigold Resources serves entrepreneurs seeking to maximize the value of their life's work and achieve a lucrative, satisfying transition out of business ownership.
