Managing the deal process
We act as a quarterback for the entire deal, from start to finish, advancing all aspects of the transaction and managing all parties involved to move towards a seamless closing.
Finding buyers
From our research, network and proprietary databases, we identify and connect with relevant buyers. While we excel in engaging strategic acquirers, we tap a vast network of financial buyers as well. Across the globe – there are no barriers to deal-making. In strictest confidentiality.
Structuring the deal
Having crafted dozens of deals, we shape the transaction structure to address the needs and wants of both sellers and buyers – it must be a win-win.
Negotiating the deal
We create an auction environment to create competitive tension between buyers, to secure the most favourable price, terms, conditions, timing and transition. We train daily in the art of negotiations and story-telling.
Educating and coaching the owner(s)
Deals are draining: the emotional highs and lows, the difficult conversations with buyers, the time-consuming buyer’s due diligence… Many on our team have gone through it not just as an advisor, but as entrepreneurs themselves. We tap in to that experience, as well, as our team coaches you through it all.
Adding credibility to the seller
Our involvement signals to buyers that there is a high and serious degree of commitment by the seller to an exit.
Preparing the company for sale
To manage the intense scrutiny of buyers’ due diligence before and after their offers, we tell all sides of your company’s story through detailed collateral and data rooms, months in the making.
Enabling you to run the business
