Advisory Services
Sell-side
We serve entrepreneurs. This work includes assisting company owners in preparing for and determining the right time to sell. When we believe that company dynamics and market forces are in-line in terms of client sale objectives, we say so - not sooner. We then engage all resources of our firm to develop a tailored approach, complete with compelling sale materials, and make a confidential market with high-fit prospective buyers. We then provide buyer selection and negotiation advice and work with client legal counsel to maximize the transaction outcome at the closing and afterwards.
Buy-side
The deal road is paved with tire kickers and unrealistic sellers. It is also traveled by forthright buyers and sellers who have compelling reasons to pursue certain transactions. In latter situations, we apply our expertise to formally bring the parties together in terms of valuation, diligence discovery, negotiations and deal documentation. When done right, our clients go in with their eyes wide open and have an opportunity to create meaningful value post-close.
Finding Capital
Capital, when judiciously used, can be critical to success. Whether a client is in need of funding for organic growth, acquisitions, or shareholder distributions, we apply our expertise and relationships to solve for the need in the most cost effective way.
