FOR BUSINESS OWNERS (SELL-SIDE CLIENTS)

.

We assist Business Owners of profitable companies, with between $15m to $120m+ in Annual Revenue, who are interested in exploring the sale of a majority-interest in their Company (if not their Company in its entirety, inclusive or exclusive of any owned real estate assets).

.

We match our Business Owner clients with Private Equity firms as well as Family Offices/UHNWIs & Strategic Acquirers seeking similar businesses.

.

We serve Business Owners located in the USA as well as Internationally.

.

In certain circumstances, we may make exceptions to our Annual Revenue minimum/maximum guidelines - on the lower-tier (generally, if EBITDA is $1.5m+) or on the higher-tier (up to $180m in Annual Revenue) - if our team sees potential fits with one or more of our Buy-side clients.

.

Optimally, our involvement enables each Business Owner client of ours to have time to focus on the critical aspects of their Company's operations while simultaneously (and, importantly, discreetly) receiving offers/bids from PE firms and other prospective qualified acquirers including Family Offices/UHNWIs and Strategics.

Note: Each Business Owner client is responsible for utilizing their own in-house lawyers or hiring their own outside legal counsel for IOI/LOI reviews and Closing document review/drafting needs. We are intermediaries and purveyors/facilitators not lawyers, investment bankers, nor accountants. We do not raise capital. Our team has been in your shoes as business owners themselves many times, needing assistance with an exit plan and putting in place a solid strategy that did not consume all of our time so we could remain focused on our running our businesses. To that end, you can be sure that our team is your advocate as well as an ally with aligned interests from the start of an engagement through the Closing.

.

One of the traits that set our team apart is that we pride ourselves on intently listening to our Business Owner clients regarding their vision for their exit and the ideal type of acquirer they are looking for - nearly all clients prefer an acquirer that maintains their legacy, takes care of their employees and provides a solid cultural fit - as well as their preferred acquisition timelines (e.g. an open-ended, multi-month process until they find the right acquirer or fixed IOI/LOI submission date).

.

Subsequent to our keying-in on each Business Owner client's preferred acquirer-profile (e.g. only Strategics or Family Offices or highest bidder regardless of firm structure), our team then vets all prospective acquirers to align as best as possible with each Business Owner's vision of an ideal acquirer.

.

Our name notwithstanding, some Business Owner clients have preferred only receiving inquiries from Strategics or Family Offices - specifically, not any Private Equity firms, as mentioned, each Business Owner client creates their optimal acquirer-profile as they see fit, we simply execute their vision by utilizing their optimal acquirer criteria as our playbook for procuring qualified and aligned acquirer candidates.

Additionally, while some Business Owner clients prefer handling numerous simultaneous inquiries from prospective qualified and aligned acquirers (so that there is competition among them to provide a winning offer), other Business Owner clients like to only consider 1 prospective qualified and aligned acquirer at a time. Each Business Owner guides our team as to their preference in this regard once we have generated initial interest in their Company.

FOR ACQUIRERS (BUY-SIDE CLIENTS)

.

We assist USA & International Private Equity firms - in addition to Family Offices/UHNWIs & Strategic Acquirers (collectively referred to as Buy-side Clients) - that are seeking to acquire one or more profitable, privately-held businesses with Annual Revenue of between $15m and $120m+.

.

After engagement, Private Equity and other Buy-side clients provide our team their specific acquisition target-criteria (Sector-focus, Geographic-location preference, Revenue/EBITDA ranges, etc) - our team, then, researches potential matches via a variety of databases then pro-actively sources prospective viable acquirees - from Platforms to Add-Ons - and presents those opportunities, to the Buy-side client that requested such, for their consideration.

.

We diligently work with each Private Equity as well as Family Office/UHNWI and Strategic client to assure that the prospects our team delivers for their consideration are not only in line with their fixed, stated criteria but also a good potential operational and cultural fit in order to improve the likelihood of a successful acquisition/closing.
