### It’s An Epidemic

A recent inquiry came from a group looking to acquire a firm with $10M in EBITDA, which would value the firm at about $30M. There are 175 $30M-plus firms on the IPA Top 500 Firms list, and many of them have already accepted outside investment or are extremely large firms.

### Just Like You, We Get Contacted Daily

The investment groups want us to add them to our “list” so when we have a firm looking to merge, sell, or investigate private equity, we will send them the “listing”. We do not have a “listing”. We custom position firms with select options offering different pathways. If needed, we add additional potential fits.

### There Is A Difference Between Acquirers

The financial opportunity is one aspect, but money is not always the main driver. Other differences are a firm’s infrastructure, culture, growth vision, seller timelines, existing client mix, and the buyer’s equity plan. Their plan could be to sell in a few years or be a long-term hold with no anticipated sale. 

### There Are Different Options & Layers

Most firms react to a call or an email from one or two buyers who represent only their version of a deal. It could be a great offer, but to understand where to take your firm, talk to us. We can show you how to look at all of your options and provide you with a smart process to find a merger, sale, or private equity solution.
