Sell Your Business Find Capital Partner Recapitalize Ownership

We understand that every deal is unique and requires a tailored approach. We do not rely on a one-size-fits-all model.

Our experienced advisors employ a structured methodology specifically tailored to each industry, aimed at maximizing offers from our extensive buyer network, all while ensuring confidentiality and minimizing any disruption to your business.

Let's Get Started
We'll begin with a consultation to gather important data and assess your business’s readiness for sale, including a market analysis and a preliminary valuation. Once the assessment is complete, we'll sign an engagement agreement and move on to the next step.
Time to Market
Our next step involves creating a comprehensive business review, preparing financials, and crafting a Confidential Information Memorandum. We'll also create a target list of potential buyers and launch our sales process with buyer outreach.
Screening Potential Buyers
As inquiries start pouring in, we'll pre-screen buyers to ensure they're serious and financially capable of purchasing your business. We'll require that they sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect your confidentiality. We will present all NDAs to you before we release any sensitive information about your business.
Meeting Potential Buyers
Our team will arrange a meeting between you and the prospective buyer. This is an excellent opportunity for you to share details about your business and answer any questions that the buyer may have. After this meeting, we'll schedule a visit to your office and/or facilities at a mutually convenient time.
Reviewing Offers
When a buyer decides to purchase your business, they will provide you with a formal offer, including the purchase price, payment terms, timing, and other conditions. Our team will help you review and evaluate each offer, providing expert guidance to ensure that you make the best decision possible.
Closing the Deal
Once the buyer completes their due diligence, we'll negotiate legal agreements and prepare for closing. The transaction will officially close with the signing of the purchase agreement and receipt of funds.
Transitioning to New Ownership
Our team will assist with introducing the new ownership, providing transition assistance, and settling any post-transaction adjustments. We'll be with you every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition.

Recapitalizing ownership is a strategy that allows a business owner to take chips off the table without selling their company outright. It involves restructuring the company's capitalization, often by bringing in new investors or leveraging existing assets, to generate liquidity for the owner while maintaining control over the business.

Here's an example of how a recapitalization can be executed. Let's say John owns a successful manufacturing company that produces furniture. John wants to take some chips off the table to fund his future retirement while still retaining control of the company.

Here's how he could achieve that through a strategic recapitalization:

1.
Bringing in a strategic partner: John identifies a larger furniture manufacturer that is interested in entering new markets or expanding its product line. This larger manufacturer is willing to invest in John's company and become a strategic partner.

2.
Equity investment and debt restructuring: The larger manufacturer agrees to invest a few million dollars into John's company in exchange for a significant ownership stake. In addition, they may also help restructure the company's existing debt to improve its financial position.

3.
Recapitalizing ownership: As part of the agreement, John sells a percentage of his ownership stake to the larger manufacturer for a few million dollars. This transaction allows John to take chips off the table and generate liquidity while still maintaining a controlling interest in the company.

4.
Strategic collaboration and growth: With the new investment and strategic partnership, John's company gains access to the larger manufacturer's expertise, resources, and distribution networks. They can collaborate on product development, market expansion, and operational improvements to drive growth and increase profitability.

By recapitalizing his company's ownership structure, John was able to secure an investment from a strategic partner, generate liquidity by selling a portion of his ownership stake, and access additional resources to drive growth, all while staying in the business.

This approach allows John to reduce his personal risk exposure and plan for his eventual retirement while retaining control and benefiting from the company's future success.
