Sell-side M&A

We represent entrepreneurs and investment groups in the sale of business interests. We also represent larger corporate clients in the divestiture of non-core divisions, subsidiaries, and product lines.

Companies in the middle market have an acute need for sound investment banking advice. Valuable opportunities may be lost if industry research, marketing, timing, confidentiality, positioning, buyer contact, and negotiations are not handled properly. 

Moreover, the sale of a business can involve varying levels of cash proceeds and retained equity interests for the selling shareholders. We perform extensive financial modeling to help our clients decide which strategies they should pursue.

The private market for middle market M&A transactions is highly inefficient. Yesterday’s most active strategic buyer may move to the sidelines just as a new buyer is quietly emerging. At the same time, a financial buyer with deep experience in our client’s industry may have just raised a new fund. Our knowledge of and access to strategic and financial buyers brings the best buyers to the table.
