Clients
Privately Held Businesses
When private company owners are considering a sale of their business, we start by discussing two key questions about timing: “Is your company ready to be sold?” and “Is the market ready for your company?” To answer the first question, we spend a significant amount of time up front with owners and management teams – digging into the company to understand both the value drivers as well as possible hurdles that will impact market interest and valuation. Our exclusive focus on M&A advisory in chemicals and materials science has allowed us to build deep relationships with buyers across the industry and have a pulse on the global M&A markets, which helps us answer the second question.
From there, we can work to answer the frequent questions and concerns that our clients often have, addressing topics such as:
- Process steps and timeline
- Buyer identification
- Managing confidentiality
- Which route to take – strategic buyer, private equity, or sale to management
- Information disclosure – what, when, and how
- Common terms and deal structures
- Full sale or partial exit
- Business continuity versus consolidation
- Employee retention
- Management team support
- Tax considerations
- Post-deal liabilities
