News & Articles
As a seller, understanding your goals can help identify the correct type of buyer and the
appropriate terms of sale. This article reviews characteristics of the two types
of buyers, and covers some of the options that should be considered when choosing a buyer
for your business.
The Great Recession of 2009 – 2010 has produced the most difficult business climate for business owners
since the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Whether your company has performed well or not over this
difficult period, the current environment can provide you with an opportunity to enhance your personal needs.
Selling a business that you have built can be a difficult process. This article identifies
a pattern of six phases that owners experience in the sale process, and provides insight
to help cope with the challenges involved in each phase.
Tensions can rise when the Buyer's lawyer submits the first draft of a final sales agreement and it's
highly favorable to the buyer. This article introduces some concepts to keep the agreement balanced
and reduce the level of risk taken on by the seller.
Many Buyers would like to hold some type of preferred stock. However,
there are numerous types of offerings. This short primer helps explain some
of the common variations.
Private Investor Groups invest private equity in diverse companies and industries. Since you might
be unfamiliar with the private equity sector, you may ask your investment
banker whether you want to invite these PIGS to your party....
How can you be
sure that you have selected the proper partner to assist you in this process?
Here are a few characteristics to look for in a dealmaker.
Please join us in welcoming Robert Vogl and celebrating the opening of our
third office location in Vail Colorado. The office opened in September 2004
and we are very excited about adding Robert to our team.
...on occasion, there are a number of items that a distressed company may have that
could interest a buyer....
Having been associated with many successful deals over the years, we have come to
appreciate that many successful sellers act in a similar fashion...
...it's time you
became aware of a tool that is right at your fingertips that can exponentially
increase your company’s value faster than you can imagine....
...if you haven’t been watching this business segment
closely, you are missing a revolution taking place in a recession.....
