The Pillar 

Capstone M&A is pleased to announce that Evan Vishion has joined our team as a Junior Associate. Evan brings several years of experience in real estate investment advising, property management, and project management, and he’s applying that background to help business owners navigate the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape with confidence and clarity.

Every deal has its cast of characters. There’s the eager buyer, the cautious seller, the advisors calculating numbers, and the attorneys dissecting contracts line by line. But when it comes time to actually seal the deal, one figure often steps into the spotlight quietly and then saves the day: the title company or closing agent.

When it comes time to sell your business, one detail many overlook, but which can make a big difference is your industry classification. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes do more than just satisfy bureaucratic requirements. In M&A and business brokerage, they significantly shape how visible you are to potential buyers, which in turn affects valuation, deal timelines, and buyer fit.

When many business owners hear the phrase exit planning, they picture retirement. But the reality is, exit planning is about much more than preparing to step away for good, it’s about building a stronger, more valuable, and more transferable business right now.

If you’re a business owner, here’s a sobering fact: the day will come when you’ll leave your business voluntarily or not. Yet most owners spend more time planning a vacation than planning how to exit the company they spent years building.

Capstone M&A is proud to welcome Lance Tulacro to our team. With a strong background in residential housing construction and finance, Lance brings a unique blend of operational expertise and financial insight to the world of mergers and acquisitions.
