Tier 4
Expired listings. Will pay a referral fee if we buy an expired listing you send to us.
Tier 5
We have a program for companies to maximize their exit value and be attractive to institutional buyers. The company stays listed with you, and we take it on as a client helping it structure for its best exit, getting you a bigger commission when it sells.
Tier 6
Turn downs: When you are going to turn a company away, direct it towards us so that we can help it improve its business. We will pay a referral fee for those companies we sign on as clients in this category.
Roll Ups: Benefits to the Seller and the Buyer
Our Approach.
We are targeting the industries where current demand for acquisitions is high. Within those, we gain the agreement of multiple sellers to participate in a single transaction where the aggregate value makes the deal attractive for all parties. To facilitate this, we also conduct a process of due diligence to ensure the quality of the companies and position them for the exit. From this, we are able to provide a post-acquisition plan of action to speed integrations and further value creation.
Seller Benefits.
- More Money. Sell at a higher value than you can as a stand alone company and get the majority of your cash now.
- Maintain impact and legacy. After the acquisition, typically you would still manage the business through the transition. This is usually 1-3 years.
- Even More Money. You will likely have a piece of equity remain with the company, so that when the buyer sells it down the road, you get another payout - often times this can be a very large sum.
Buyer Benefits.
- Capital Deployment. Able to deploy larger amounts of dry powder in a single transaction.
- Deal Flow. The acquisition targets have been found, vetted, and brought to agreement.
- Planning. In addition to the management plan, the improvements and integrations of each company have been identified.
- Speed to Execution. A QofE has been performed on each company.
