According to a recent survey of small business owners by M&A Today, 65% do not know what their company is worth and 85% have no exit strategy.

The value of your business and what you can realize from a sale are not the same.

Case Studies

CAREER CHANGE
The owner of a local printing company sold part of his business, an office supply division, to a company engaged in an industry roll-up.  The owner realized he wanted to be a publisher, not a printer, and decided to sell his $2,000,000 printing business so he could start his new venture.  We were able to sell to a local printer who wanted the additional market share. The seller received cash and notes.


BUSINESS BREAK-UP
A group of dentists developed a small group of offices and wanted to take advantage of position during an industry roll-up period.  The four owners all had different reasons to convert their assets.  The practices were sold, as a group, to a publicly traded company as part of the Initial Public Offering process.


FAMILY BUSINESS
The owner of a manufacturing company with significant market potential wanted to sell his business to pursue other interests.  The business had been established by his deceased father.  Included in the manufacturing business was a powder coating operation whose primary customer was a high end appliance company.  The businesses were separated. The manufacturing portion was sold to a private equity group and the powder coating operation was sold to a conglomerate.
