Sell-Side Advisory
We initiate and execute the sale of middle-market companies with revenues less than $500 million. Our clients include family and entrepreneurially owned businesses, larger corporate entities wishing to divest non-core assets and divisions, and private equity groups seeking to exit portfolio company investments.
Buy-Side Advisory
We provide advisory services to middle-market companies seeking to grow through acquisition. Acquisition advisory services may include formulating a strategy, developing acquisition criteria; target search and selection; confidential approaches; initial evaluation; valuation analysis; transaction structuring; bid process management and negotiation assistance.
Management Buyouts
We help clients execute management buyouts of middle-market companies and divisions or subsidiaries of larger corporate entities. We act as financial advisors to the acquiring management team and assist them in securing private equity, mezzanine debt, and bank financing to fund the transaction.
Private Equity and Capital Raising
We advise middle-market companies seeking to arrange new capital (private equity, mezzanine, debt, etc.). New capital may be used to refinance existing obligations, fund growth initiatives, finance acquisitions, or provide partial liquidity to shareholders through a recapitalization.
Cross Border Mergers and Acquisitions
We initiate and execute cross border M&A sell-side and buy-side transactions for our clients. As the M&A marketplace becomes more global, we leverage the global investment banking capabilities of the member firms of Grant Thornton International, to quickly identify and engage in discussions with M&A candidates around the world.
Distressed M&A and Special Situations
We advise clients in the sale of distressed business units during corporate reorganizations, restructuring processes (out-of-court settlement), and bankruptcy processes (including managing a 363 sale process and providing expert testimony). Our clients often realize substantially higher values because of our expertise in managing a quick and efficient sale process and our understanding of critical value drivers.
