We apply our knowledge and experience to help businesses and their owners succeed with the following:
As strategic advisors, we seek first to deeply understand your business–its financial, operational and market opportunities and challenges. With that knowledge we help you consider strategic options, formulate your plan and provide professional support to help you achieve it.
We know how to buy and sell businesses—we have done both. Most importantly, we know what it’s like to be an owner and what it takes to build and preserve a legacy.
We’ve seen almost every business model, from the simplest to the most complex. We know how to analyze a business and to put in place the most efficient capital structures.
We also help with corporate restructurings. Because we’ve seen both sides of several economic cycles, we know how to avoid trouble and how to fix it when it happens.
We are experts in the process of presenting a business to the market and maximizing its value.
We have deep experience with various business models and industries, with specific focus on the following:
