Hello
Time Driven
Our 150-day transaction process keeps deals from falling apart. Excess time kills most transactions. We employ a “Shark Tank” analysis, asking the right questions to generate a deep dive into the strengths and vulnerabilities of your company. This approach yields answers that prepares management for the diligence ahead, keeping positioning on track.
Highest Value
Our extensive CPA and M&A experience allows us to strategically position the company and industry, streamline the due diligence process and minimize intrusion to managements daily operations. Combined with our unique ability to identify and maximize EBITDA add-backs, this provides the greatest multiple and business cash flow, which converts into the highest valuation possible.
Right Buyer
The “RIGHT” buyer is one that wants or needs your company strategically. Our ability to identify these buyers and engage them in a competitive bidding process is key to what sets us apart. Broad auctions cast a wide net that can lose many of the best buyers, waste time sifting through unqualified ones and risk confidentiality. Our job is to drop a targeted net into the “RIGHT” buyer pool facilitating the most advantageous match possible.
Best Deal
More cash in your pocket now and in the long-term is not just a simple M&A equation. It begins with value but then incorporates many other components including working capital requirements, escrows, advantageous tax structuring and proper rep & warranties regarding both time and amounts. Done correctly, this maximizes after-tax proceeds while also minimizing deal risk.
Investment capital (money) far exceeds the supply of well performing companies available for acquisition.
Selling all or part of your company can minimize risk, especially in today’s uncertain times.
Cash is King. With cash in your pocket the number of investment opportunities are infinite.
