Middle market companies are sold for a wide range of reasons including: succession planning, retirement, a desire to create family wealth-liquidity and other personal circumstances. BDO Capital approaches each engagement as a highly customized process with every assignment beginning with a clear understanding of the client's personal objectives. Once defined, our investment banking team focuses on understanding the subject company’s business model, growth characteristics and where the company fits in its industry. Through this preliminary diligence process we can identify, analyze and explain in both verbal and written form the company's unique value proposition to potential buyers.
Each corporate sales assignment involves the preparation of a confidential information memorandum, creation of a detailed listing of potential buyers, confidential distribution of information to qualified acquirers, creation and coordinated delivery of management presentations and the negotiations and closing of the transaction.
