STEWARDING COMPANIES THAT CARE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

On the surface, money is fungible – a dollar is a dollar. But we (hopefully) all recognize that money comes attached to people. And when it comes to pools of capital for investment, it’s defined by its source, the associated expectations of use and return, and how long it is available for investment.

INSTANT APPRAISAL

It helps us understand a company, assess risks, and ultimately arrive at a valuation range.

This does not replace discussions. Structuring a deal is about far more than what can be put into a spreadsheet. But it's a start for aligning expectations and initiating productive conversations.

CONFIDENTIALITY/NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

CONFIDENTIALITY/NDA

We gather information about the your business, market opportunities and share more about us in a confidential manner. Our reputation is everything.

DEAL TERMS

Our analysis is grounded in the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), the most common deal structure in lower middle market acquisitions. For each term, we will discuss (1) the standard, middle ground contents; (2) the term’s level of importance; (3) the preferred tweaks from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspective; and, when appropriate, (4) how and why the terms in a stock sale would be materially different from those in an asset acquisition.

CRITERIA

Location Headquartered in North America.

Industries: growing and mature sectors excluding commodities, oilfield services, natural resource extraction and asset-heavy businesses such as real estate or asset-intensive transportation.

Ownership: primarily family-owned, but will consider sponsor-backed and corporate carveouts depending on situational context

Due Diligence

Diligence helps us confidently take risk.

Due diligence is about building relationships while building the deal. You know your business better than anyone else. We want to see the reality of who you are, what you do, and how your business operates. Diligence is how you help us see what you see in your business.
