No matter how far along you may be in the deal process—whether you are just considering your options or actively evaluating an offer—hiring an investment bank can add a great deal of value beyond sourcing potential buyers. Our team can help ensure the transaction truly meets your goals and gets you your best deal and that you don’t save an investment banking fee yet leave a significant amount of money on the table.
Here are four reasons to hire an investment banker when considering a sale of your business:
1. Access and evaluate a wider breadth of options
2. Dial in your goals and ensure the deal terms align with your needs
3. Reduce risk
4. Get your best deal

Dial in your goals and ensure the deal terms align with your needs
Beyond bringing the best potential buyers to the table, we also help owners clarify their goals and develop a process that aligns with the needs of the seller.
Financial considerations are obviously important factors, but we also take care to consider the non-financial aspects of a deal, such as the owner’s future role in the business and their legacy, or how the company will be structured following their departure. As the seller, you’re the expert in your business and we have bankers whose expertise matches or even exceeds the potential buyer’s knowledge in the corresponding M&A market – meaning you have access to the best information available on deal structure, terms, and best practices.

Investment banks seek to maximize deal economics by driving engagement with potential buyers and managing the competitive deal processes.
