The questions buyers, sellers, and acquirers ask 733Park.

733Park is a boutique M&A advisory firm specializing in payments, fintech, AI, and SaaS. Headquartered in Boston, we represent founders selling their companies, work with strategic and PE buyers acquiring targets, and advise on growth and exit planning. We have facilitated more than $10 billion in transactions across 209 deals over 25+ years.

733Park is headquartered at One Boston Place, Suite 2600, Boston, MA 02108. We work nationally across the United States and selectively in Canada and Europe.

When you work with 733Park, you get Lane Gordon as your senior banker. Not a junior associate, not a rotating team. The same person who pitches the engagement runs the process, negotiates the LOI, and stays in the room through close. That is uncommon in M&A and it is the single biggest reason our clients refer us.

No, intentionally. We do not perform capital raises or securities transactions that require FINRA registration. We focus on M&A advisory, which lets us work without the regulatory overhead. For capital raises we refer clients to licensed bankers we trust.

Fee structures depend on engagement type. Sell-side engagements are typically structured as a retainer plus success fee tied to transaction value. Buy-side mandates and deal sourcing engagements use a similar structure. Exit planning and valuation work is typically fixed-fee. We discuss fees in the first conversation and put everything in writing before you commit.

Most engagements close within four to six months from kickoff. Timeline depends on deal complexity, financial preparation, market conditions, and how quickly the right buyer emerges. We move as fast as the diligence allows.

Enterprise values of $2 million to $350 million, with most engagements between $2 million and $80 million. We work all stages and structures: asset sales, stock sales, merchant portfolio carve-outs, residual stream sales.

We use a combination of recent transaction comps from our deal flow, public market multiples adjusted for size and category, and DCF modeling tied to your specific growth and margin trajectory. The result is a valuation grounded in what buyers are actually paying today, not a number from a textbook.

We run a competitive, auction-style process with a curated pool of strategic and PE buyers we know are active in your category. Our buyer relationships are the asset, and they have been built over 25 years of payments and fintech deal-making.

Yes. Every conversation begins under NDA before we share company-specific information with prospective buyers. Your name, financials, and competitive position are protected throughout the process.

If you have 12 to 36 months before you need to transact, exit planning produces meaningful valuation lift. Commercial readiness, financial cleanup, customer concentration mitigation, and multiple-expanding growth initiatives all compound. If you are already at the door of a transaction, we work with what you have.

Yes. Buy-side advisory is roughly a third of our practice. We work with strategic acquirers and PE platforms on proprietary target sourcing, outreach, diligence support, and deal structuring.

Buy-side mandates are structured as a retainer plus success fee. The success fee is typically a sliding percentage of transaction value, with the structure agreed up front and documented in the engagement letter.

Search timelines depend on category breadth and target criteria. Most mandates produce qualified targets within 30 to 60 days and a closed transaction within six to twelve months.

Yes. We support PE platforms and strategic acquirers running multi-target roll-up programs in payments, fintech, and SaaS. Repeated engagements typically receive program-level fee structures.

Payments, fintech, SaaS, and AI. Within payments we cover ISOs, processors, gateways, merchant portfolios, payfacs, and embedded payments. Within fintech we cover lending platforms, banking-as-a-service, FX, embedded finance, and consumer fintech. Within SaaS we cover vertical, horizontal, and AI-native SaaS. Within AI we cover applied AI, agentic platforms, and AI-enabled SaaS.

Yes. Merchant portfolio transactions are a core 733Park specialty. We have closed hundreds of merchant portfolio sales spanning ISO carve-outs, residual stream sales, and full portfolio dispositions.

Primarily US, occasionally Canada and Europe. Cross-border deals are part of our practice when the strategic fit and economics work.
