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.

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
