Our Proven Process for Maximizing Your Company’s Valuation

Pre-Transaction Advisory
Getting acquired is the most difficult decision for many entrepreneurs and their boards. Using a value-focused methodology and proprietary framework, we holistically conduct a thorough assessment of your business to help you make an informed go/ no-go decision, bridge the gap, and future proof your business model to strategically enhance the purchase price before we engage high-caliber buyers in the marketplace.

Sell Side M&A
We drive the deal process from pre-transaction planning to marketing, due diligence, closing, and negotiating the deemed purchase price and deal terms. Most important, clients we represent appreciate how we properly educate, prepare, and advise them on repositioning their business from the buyer’s perspective. Our holistic approach attracts higher valuations and maximizes your net proceeds.

Client Success Stories
-
"The depth of Katalyst Point’s due diligence process was extraordinary. They spotted areas we hadn’t considered and got us fully prepared for buyer scrutiny. We couldn’t have done it without them."
- Beth K., COO, Defense Tech Startup
-
"Their 360-perspective and strategic recommendations not only increased our market presence but also gave us permission to reposition our existing business model for an acquisition at three times our initial valuation."
- Jeffrey T., CEO, EV Components Supplier
-
"Three years prior, we had a valuation of $50M and engaging Katalyst Point challenged us to think bigger. From the initial offsite with our management team where we gained so many actionable insights on how to reinvent our business model, their recommendation of third-party implementation partners, and their ability to dig deep into our operations, financials, and market potential led to a boost in an enterprise value of $142M. Although we decided to continue growing and not exit at this time, I can’t thank them enough and highly recommended!"
- Mark L., CEO, Electronics Manufacturer
