In striving to reach your business sales
and M&A objectives, there is no substitute for the intensive research, analysis and
effort we expend on your behalf.
At Fox & Fin, you benefit from the
innovation and original thinking we continually build into
our practices, such as
The Fox & Fin Process™,
a methodology expressly developed to help your business
bring top dollar. It’s the result of our more than 75 years
of combined experience and involvement in the sale of more
than 500 companies. Our approach to selling businesses is
inspired by a simple, yet powerful, proposition:
If we target the best-qualified,
best-fit buyers,
and present your business in its best light,
the result will be the highest value
the market will pay for your business.
Stated another way, in identifying,
targeting and communicating with prospective buyers, we use
a rifle, not a shotgun. As a consequence, because we work
the process for you, you can rest assured in the knowledge
that, when the deal is done, you will have achieved maximum
value for your company, accomplished your objectives in
selling, and left no money on the table.
Among the valuable qualities of The
Fox & Fin process is its “big picture” examination of your
business and your motives in selling. It helps you formulate
solid answers to key questions, including:
-
What am I trying to accomplish in
selling my business?
-
Are my objectives realistic?
-
Is now the right time to sell? Or
should I wait?
-
What changes, if any, in my
business will maximize its value and help me achieve my
objectives?
Also, the Fox & Fin Process helps you recognize what is most important to you in selling
your business. It may be price … or it may be something
else. Perhaps more important are the terms of the sale and
how the deal is structured – so that, when the deal is done
and all of the taxes and selling costs are paid, you
maximize what you put in your pocket. Or perhaps you have
non-monetary concerns – such as ensuring that your company’s
new owner shares your business values and will take good
care of your employees and customers and preserve your
company’s reputation and standing in the community. |

Do you know the differences
among a
Business Broker,
an
M&A
Advisor
and
an
Investment Banker? |
|
More important, do you know which one is the
best fit for achieving the goals you have
for your particular transaction?
Here’s how to tell them apart:
Business Broker:
Handles the purchase and sale of
businesses with up to $2 million in
sales.
M&A Advisor:
Focuses on larger, middle-market
companies with annual sales ranging from
$2 million to $75 million. Fox & Fin is
a leader among M&A advisors.
Investment Banker:
Works with larger companies, from the
upper range of the middle market to the
largest, multibillion-dollar
corporations. Investment bankers often
provide additional financial services,
including private placements of debt or
equity, and public stock offerings. |
