About
The Geneva Companies Company
Strategic
Options for Business Owners
In working with business owners who are contemplating a sale, private
equity groups interested in sell-side transactions, or corporations
divesting a subsidiary or division, Geneva assists clients in defining
their most appropriate options and exploring transaction alternatives
such as:
- a
stock or asset sale
- a
merger
- a
recapitalization
- a
partial sale
Geneva also provides insight and strategies that could offer potential
solutions to issues such as: When might be the right time to sell?
Should all or part of the business be sold? Is the company ready
for sale, or should the focus be on building value for a future
sale?
Transactions
that are at the higher end of the middle market – frequently
more complex – are managed by the Firm‘s Priority Capital
Services division.
For
Owners Seeking to Maximize Business Value...
The sale or other transition of a business is likely to represent
the most important, and largest, financial event in the life of
the owner. For most business owners, this important liquidity event
will occur only once. Geneva has developed a mergers-and-acquisitions
process that is designed to maximize the value of the business and
focus on the personal objectives and financial goals of the business
owner. Key benefits of the Geneva M&A Process include:
Experience
in executing a substantial number of middle-market transactions
involving diverse enterprises from a broad range of industries.
Seasoned M&A professionals who anticipate challenges and understand
what needs to be done at every juncture of a transaction.
- Knowledge
and understanding of the dynamics of the M&A marketplace.
- Access
to thousands of buyers who are actively seeking to acquire middle-market
companies.
- A
customized marketing strategy that presents the business to the
most appropriate potential buyers while maintaining strict Client
confidentiality.
- Professional
documentation that properly positions the business and explains
its value – from the perspective of a buyer.
- Substantial
in-house resources specific to the M&A process and private,
middle-market enterprises.
- The
support of an M&A intermediary who will objectively analyze
and implement strategies that are considered to be the most advantageous
to the client.
- Dedication
to the middle market – and only the middle market –
providing the benefit of specialized representation.
- Commitment
to client objectives throughout the transaction.
The
sale or transition of a business is a serious and unforgiving process
in which every step must be properly executed – the first time
– if the financial rewards are to be realized. The Geneva Process
mobilizes all the experience, knowledge and resources of the firm
to provide the best possible advantage in the marketplace.
