It is important to have a comfort level with the Merger & Acquisition Firm and the individual that you entrust to achieve
your transaction objectives. A reputable firm should provide a high level of attention, professionalism, service and
expertise irrespective of the size of your transaction. A wide array of firms claim to be M&A Intermediaries.
Locally, there are traditional business brokers that handle the sale of small retail and service "mom and pop" businesses. On a national level, some firms market their services through seminars and then charge significant "up front" fees. Firms that charge a substantial up front fee do not align their interests with that of their client, since they receive a significant amount of money regardless of the results. In contrast, a firm that operates almost entirely on a success fee basis is only compensated after achieving the desired result. A reputable intermediary will also be willing to provide numerous references from past successful transactions.
Once you determine that you are best served by utilizing an experienced professional to represent you in what will likely be one of your most important financial transactions, the next question is
How do I select a firm that will best represent my interests and maximize the transactional value of the sale of my firm?
Years of ExperienceThe Partners at Sun Mergers & Acquisitions have decades of M&A experience and have successfully consummated over 200 transactions of small and mid-market firms. We encourage you to speak with our past clients and hear about their experiences with Sun M&A.
Success Based Fee StructureSun M&A provides expert professional merger and acquisition representation, while maintaining a competitive success based fee structure that aligns its financial goals with those of the client. Sun M&A is paid for performance and is compensated after achieving the desired results for our client.
Senior Level RepresentationSun does not employ "professional openers/closers" or transfer the handling of an assignment to junior level personnel. Sun M&A ensures that your transaction will receive the direct involvement and attention of the partners in our firm. We apply a team approach to each of our engagements with six senior professionals of varying strategic backgrounds, with a range of 6 to 20 years of M&A experience.
Regional FirmSun M&A is headquartered in the Tri-State Metropolitan area. As a regional firm, we are able to provide a higher level of service than national firms. Our regional presence enables us attend all buyer/seller meetings. This permits us to positively influence the tenor and direction of the meetings; manage the flow of information; measure the interest level of potential acquirers; suggest enhancements for future meetings and have a thorough knowledge of what transpires. This will assist us in maximizing both the value and the probability of closing a transaction.
Specializing in the Small and Mid-MarketSun M&A addresses a void in the market place. There are business brokers that handle "mom and pop" main street businesses and large investment banking firms that will only consider transactions with valuations in excess of $50 million. Sun's niche is to address the underserved market that falls between these two segments. We provide small and mid-market firms with the level of representation that previously had only been made available to much larger firms.
ConfidentialitySun M&A understands how to implement a discreet targeted marketing plan to identify qualified acquirers, while maintaining strict confidentiality regarding the specifics of your business. We guard against your competitors, employees, vendors and customers becoming aware of the impending sale of your Company. As an additional precaution, Sun M&A requires qualified potential acquirers to execute confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.
Confirming Valuation ParametersTo make an informed decision, a business owner must be armed with an accurate understanding as to realistic market valuation and likely transaction structure expectations. Sun M&A will invest the time to better understand your objectives and present an informed opinion as to what is achievable in these crucial areas. This is done in advance of any engagement, to mutually confirm that our opinion of likely valuation range is in line with your expectations, prior to making a commitment to the selling process.
Limited Number of EngagementsSun Mergers & Acquisitions limits the number of assignments at any given time. This ensures our ability to be highly pro-active and responsive and to provide a very high level of attention to our clients.
Client ReferencesWe appreciate that the sale of a business is a major endeavor in the lives of our clients. We encourage you to speak to former clients of ours to validate our capabilities and their experiences.
