Introductory Call
Let’s meet! In this 30-60 minute call or video meeting, you’ll tell us about your business, background, current situation, and goals. We’ll share our experience and the current market trends for your industry. Timing is everything and we will provide guidance on the best time to bring your business to market.
Valuation Optimization
Our team works closely with you to prepare financial statements and supporting documentation. We highlight the nuances that can position your business more favorably with buyers and investors while conducting a comprehensive valuation. This step will determine the market value of your business and provide a path to how we can achieve your short and long term goals. Once you send us the necessary reports, you’ll receive a valuation within two weeks.
Marketing and Connection Building
Leveraging our extensive network and industry expertise, we develop a customized marketing strategy to target only qualified corporate groups and private equity investors. We create a confidential information memorandum (CIM) highlighting the key attributes and value of your business, which is shared with prospective buyers under strict confidential agreements. On average, this step takes 30 days.
Negotiation
As interest from potential buyers is generated, our team manages the negotiations and meetings with interested parties while ensuring that your interests are properly represented. We’re right with you the entire time, advising and answering questions throughout and ensuring your key goals are addressed.
Identify Buyer
Once a buyer is identified, we negotiate and finalize a letter of intent (LOI), outlining key terms and conditions of the transaction. We facilitate the due diligence process, coordinating with legal and other advisors to address any inquiries or requests for information. This includes the setup and management of a data room for all of the diligence material. From choosing a buyer to closing, it’s usually 45-60 days.
Purchase Agreement and Closing
We provide guidance with your counsel to ensure that all deal points are accurately reflected in the closing documents and facilitate the transfer of ownership and funds.
