We offer assistance in initiating, structuring, valuing, financing, and consummating mergers and acquisitions, as well as the purchase and sale of public and privately-owned businesses.
Our team of professionals has diverse experience in helping our clients identify transactional opportunities, locating potential investors, buyers and sellers, and bringing the parties to mutual agreement at the negotiating table. AGCP has extensive transaction history, deep industry relationships, and thorough research capabilities to ensure that clients are well-informed about valuation, interested parties, key stages in a transaction process, and the time required to close a transaction.
AGCP seeks to help its clients achieve the best price, terms and strategic fit with the least disruption to their company.
Sell Side Transactions
Our sell-side advisory services provides sellers with the assurance that their dedication and ongoing investment will result in a smooth transaction, an optimal structure and a maximized valuation. AGCP has worked on assignments as diverse as resolving family business succession issues through complete divestitures to providing business owners with liquidity and estate diversification through minority or majority equity recapitalizations.
We position our clients to maximize the value in a sale or recapitalization, and determine the optimal time to execute a marketing process based on company performance and prevailing market conditions. Our industry knowledge helps define the most likely and capable interested acquirers. Throughout the process, AGCP ensures confidentiality and holistic relationship management.
AGCP offers services throughout the entire transaction process, including preparation of marketing and presentation materials, identification of appropriate partners and acquirers, negotiations of definitive agreements, and coordination of all transaction participants including lawyers, accountants, consultants and other experts. Our goal is to ensure the sale process proceeds in a timely and professional manner, enabling our clients to remain focused on running the business.
Buy Side Transactions
Many mid-market companies cannot dedicate the resources necessary to focus on corporate development efforts. AGCP assists clients in evaluating market opportunities and identifying potential acquisitions that fit their objectives and strategies.
Searching for acquisitions starts with a sound strategy. The best acquirers carefully choose where they will invest and know what role a potential acquisition will play before they look at targets. AGCP helps clients develop and refine their acquisition criteria, identifying potential target companies, engaging prospective targets, and negotiating and structuring a deal that seeks to meet the value expectations of all parties involved.
AGCP has deep expertise in helping financial and corporate buyers navigate strategic acquisitions to achieve maximum benefit with minimum risk. Whatever the context of the transaction, our clients benefit from disciplined execution and unconventional thinking.
Reverse Mergers
For companies that are considering going public and have the wherewithal to support the requirements of being public, a reverse merger is an important option to consider. In reverse mergers, private businesses merge with inactive public entities, allowing the private business to be publicly traded without an expensive, risky and dilutive public offering.
AGCP has developed a reputation as experts in reverse mergers and other alternatives to traditional IPOs. We assist our clients to evaluate the next step in their corporate development and understand the benefits and implications of the various options for going public.
