SELL- SIDE ADVISORY

A PROCESS FOR ACHIEVING TOP VALUE.

We have developed a highly effective selling process that delivers the highest possible proceeds for you. The process includes marketing your company through three channels:

Strategic Buyers

We know how to identify and reach potential buyers that operate in your industry who may have a strategic interest in your business

Private Equity Groups

Each year, these investment funds raise over $700 billion dollars to buy businesses. We have contacts at over 1,300 of these groups and have indexed their investment areas. We know which ones are interested in your type of business. These firms usually do not want to manage their businesses. They typically like to buy out the principals and in many cases, provide equity as an incentive to key management.

Private Investors

We have many private investor contacts including other investment bankers who are interested in investing in a business. We specialize in putting together investment groups of individuals (which can include your key employees) and/or companies who may have both a strategic and financial interest.

BUY-SIDE ADVISORY

FINDING THE RIGHT STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS FOR GROWTH.

For clients or companies looking to expand through acquisition, Crescenda offers buy-side advisory services that focus on finding the right match at the right price.

We do a thorough review of a client’s business and the marketplace, and search for acquisition opportunities based upon your specific objectives. We leave no stone unturned in our search for the most advantageous opportunity to expand your business.

We provide the same experience, contacts and negotiation skills in putting the deal together as we do on the sell-side. We’ll be with you during every step of the process until the deal is closed.

VALUATIONS

STEP ONE IS A VALUATION BASED ON REAL DATA AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE.

Before bringing your company to market, you need to get an idea of what the business is worth. We offer companies our expertise in valuations and that of independent specialists through our association with several accounting firms who would perform the formal valuation of your company, if necessary.

Appraised book or market value coupled with our ability to assess the intrinsic value of your assets such as your brand equity, trademarks, your employees, client lists, proprietary products and processes and other intangibles are what sets us apart in placing a true value on your company’s worth.

Nevertheless, in the end, your company’s value is what someone is willing to pay for it and our ability to bring multiple prospective buyers to you is why you should hire Crescenda as your investment banking advisor.

For an estimate of your company’s value or a full, formal valuation by one of our accounting business partners, call us at (763) 545-1886 or fill out the form on the Contact Us page.
