Almost every business owner or successful entrepreneur comes
to the decision point of selling his or her business. For some
owners, the consideration to sell a business and turn the
risks and responsibilities to someone else is the obvious path.
For others, the next step is to grow the business with a
financial partner who really understands the business and its
opportunities. For still others, the merger or divestiture of a
product line or subsidiary seems to be an option worthy of
pursuit.
What ever path is chosen or considered, for most business
owners a business sale, merger, or recapitalization is unfamiliar
territory. Corporate Finance Associates (CFA) is one of the
oldest and largest middle-market investment banking firms in
North America focused on the middle sized business owner. For fifty years,
we've been assisting business owners to maximize their company's
value while earning their trust and building long-term
relationships that span the globe. Our commitment to remaining
independent from direct lending sources or investment capital
affiliates ensures
that we deliver unbiased guidance. It also helps to increase
competition among potential buyers.
Selling your business is a complex process that requires
thorough preparation, skillful negotiation, and intimate market
knowledge. With CFA, you'll work locally with a senior
principal, who can provide expert valuation, analysis, and
deal-making skills, as well as preferred access to competing
national and international buyers. Serving as your partner
throughout all phases of the selling process, your CFA principal
will guide you through every challenge, advocate on your behalf,
and leverage our firm's wealth of experience and resources to
see you through to a successful close.
At CFA, we have refined the sale process to include the
following steps:
- Identify Prospective Buyers Worldwide
- Prepare Powerful Marketing Materials
- Develop a Personalized Marketing Program
- Market Intensively
- Generate Interest and Facility Visits
- Close the Transaction through a Competitive Process
CFA is the oldest and largest middle-market investment
banking firm with over 30 offices. Whether selling a company, a
product line or a subsidiary, CFA specializes in finding the
best buyer.
