Private Equity Firms
Deal Flow »» High Quality Deal Flow »» High Consistency Deal Flow
This is the continuum under which we evaluate ourselves when it comes to managing our client relationships with private equity. We are not about maximizing deal flow for private equity firms. We are about generating deal flow that is highly consistent with your firm's investment criteria. We do this for a very selfish reason. We prefer not to waste time and we don't want to be associated with failed deals or processes. How do we do this?
Our approach is based on the following proven observations from decades of deal making:
- For private equity firms, access to owners and executives with reasonable price expectations and growth and/or exit objectives that are highly consistent with the investment criteria of the firm or fund is of substantial value — value you will pay for.
- Traditional, generic approaches utilized by sell side bankers typically result in overly expensive, lengthy and distracting (for both parties) transaction processes.
- By focusing on the consistency of the objectives of the parties and not the “deal stage”, we create better outcomes for our clients and the firms that acquire or invest in them.
What does our approach of focusing on each party's respective objectives yield?
- A faster, smoother and significantly more successful transaction outcome with enhanced value for both the seller and the buyer.
- By focusing holistically on the outcomes desired and not on the individual importance of a particular deal point, we construct and negotiate healthier transactions that will survive the inevitable ups and downs of future business cycles.
- Solutions to deal specific terms arrived at through dialogue and discussion as opposed to bid deadline oriented gamesmanship which often results in miscommunication and unmet expectations leading to failed transactions
- A fair outcome and a trusted partnership.
Tired of doing it the old way? Maybe it is time to try a different approach. Call us and we will show you how.
We believe it's time for higher standards and results. Don't you?
