Services

Working closely with senior management, FOCUS positions the client in the market to highlight their advantages for different types of acquirers (sell side) or sellers (buy side).

Sell side:

On the sell side, we represent owners, to help you identify and achieve your goals:

  • We help you evaluate your business, its readiness for sale and ways to increase its value
  • We help you find multiple prospects for a sale, an acquisition or new capital.
  • We help you structure the deal; from asset or stock purchase, cash or debt, and more.
  • We recognize that transitioning after a sale and the impact of the sale on you and your family are important to your decision and go beyond pure economics.

Buy side:

We also represent buyers of businesses in our targeted sectors.  Using a highly disciplined research based approach we:

  • Identify qualified candidates,
  • Reach out to these targets to tell our client’s story in a compelling way,
  • Introduce interested and qualified candidates to our client,
  • Assist in the negotiations until an LOI or IOI has been executed, and
  • Provide coordination and support throughout due diligence and documentation process to closing.
