Problems We Solve

"We’ve received an unsolicited acquisition offer that has sparked our interest, but we’re uncertain if now is the right time to exit or if this buyer truly aligns with our team, customers, and growth prospects. To avoid the risks of a proprietary deal that could limit our options, we plan to engage an M&A advisor who can prepare the company, attract the best strategic acquirers, and secure optimal terms and valuation. This approach allows us to continue running our business successfully while exploring the market and ensuring an exit path that supports our personal and financial legacy."
"Our company wants to scale up via M&A, but we lack internal expertise on the next best steps. Without strategic guidance, we worry about making haphazard choices that could jeopardize our ability to maximize enterprise value and ROI for the company, employees, and investors. We need help designing a thematic M&A strategy, identifying and building a pipeline of attractive acquisition targets, and overseeing the transaction process from analysis to deal structure, due diligence, and integration support.”
"We are a $50 million revenue company with $7.5 million in discretionary free cash flow. Most of my wealth is tied up in the business. While the industry growth outlook is promising, I'm not yet ready to sell 100% of the company. I am open to bringing on a growth equity partner to help professionalize the business. This partnership would allow me to take some chips off the table, remain actively involved, groom the next generation of leaders, strengthen our business model, and accelerate our growth."
"As general partners focused on maximizing returns on our portfolio investments, we seek guidance on preparing our companies for potential exits. While we have access to strategic buyer relationships, we want to engage an M&A advisor who can run a competitive and targeted process aligned with our valuation expectations for selling direct secondary investments. Additionally, we need the advisor to collaborate with our founders and outline a disciplined exit strategy with minimal disruption to the ongoing operations of our portfolio companies."
"We're expanding our manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand but require capital to support upgrading equipment, hiring skilled labor, and scaling operations effectively. We seek financial partners who understand our industry's challenges and can provide flexible financing solutions. Access to capital will not only strengthen our competitive edge but also enable us to meet customer expectations and seize new market opportunities."
"My partners and I are considering an exit strategy, as two out of three partners plan to retire within the next 2-5 years. However, our financials are inconsistent, and margins are flat. While we want to increase our strategic value before an exit, we're unsure of the best path forward. How do we improve our current business model while creating a new one to secure future growth at scale? We seek strategic advice to help us guide the transition of our company into an innovative force within our industry and achieve quality results.”
"I've reached a point where I'm considering selling 100% of the business, but there's no one within the family whom I trust or who is willing to take over the reins of the business. While I have a fantastic management team in place that can continue to grow the business without my daily involvement, they lack the financial resources to buy me out at a fair value. What are my exit options and how do I transition out of the business over the next 1-2 years?"
