Business Action Now is Arturo Henriquez’s M&A advisory practice for owner-operators who want to acquire, grow, or exit a business — a principal-led team built on 130+ closed transactions and $100M+ in capital raised, not theory.

Engagement Types
Every engagement falls under one of three programs.
Acquisition Advisory
Buy a BusinessSourcing, valuation, deal structure, financing, and close — for buyers acquiring a cash-flowing business instead of starting one from zero.
Growth & Operations Advisory
Scale What You BoughtFor owners past the purchase who need systems, margin discipline, and a leadership bench to grow without depending on more of their own hours.
Exit Advisory
Sell for Maximum ValuePositioning, buyer sourcing, negotiation, and close for owners who don’t want to leave value on the table.
How an Engagement Works
A structured path from first call to closing table.
Fit Call
A direct conversation about your goals, timeline, and resources — so we can tell you honestly whether an engagement makes sense.
Criteria & Sourcing
We define your acquisition or growth criteria and build a pipeline of real opportunities — not generic playbooks.
Structuring & Diligence
Deal terms, financing structure, and diligence — or, for operators, the systems that make growth repeatable.
Close & Transition
We carry the engagement through signing and the first 90 days after, when most deals succeed or stall.
