"In 2020, our CEO and I found ourselves sitting on a buyer’s offer to acquire Electric Supply. Our recently hired M&A attorney introduced us to Hyde Park Capital. Our bank’s president made it clear that with Hyde Park Capital, we were partnering with an excellent investment bank which was going to take great care of us.
Hyde Park honored our request to handle our need in a confidential manner as they set out to find potential buyers who understood our business, would provide a good return to our family shareholders and provide a good future for our entire team. With Hyde Park’s guidance, we thoroughly and quickly reviewed three offers and decided to sign a LOI with the private equity group that checked all the boxes (familiarity with our industry, financing in place, stability for our team and a strong offer with minimal contingencies).
Within a month of our closing target date, it appeared the process might stall. Hyde Park would not allow it and pushed to keep the process moving. Thanks to Hyde Park’s resolve, we closed a day earlier than expected. The Hyde Park staff was professional, courteous and willing to work regardless of where or when needed. The bottom line is we completed a deal that was beyond our family’s expectations and provided the best path forward for Electric Supply’s entire team."

Jan Greenwood, Ph.D., Partner, President, and CEO of Greenwood/Asher said “When considering the possibility of selling our company and identifying an investment banking firm that could excel at matchmaking us with possible buyers, Hyde Park Capital was highly recommended to us by our wealth advisors at Merrill Lynch. One of the most important considerations for us was a firm that understood and valued our company’s culture, uniqueness in our specialized industry, brand, and the legacy we have created for our employees, affiliates, and clients. John Hill and his team at Hyde Park Capital demonstrated incredible patience and guidance, creativity, and focus and completed a sale during the Covid-19 crisis. We are probably one of a limited number of companies that completed all aspects of a sale without the buyers and sellers meeting in person and accomplishing everything through technology including Zoom and MS Teams meetings. This speaks to Hyde Park’s team being effective in establishing trust for everyone involved, their business competence, the art of deal making, and human relationship skills.”

Hyde Park Capital was able to create significant interest in our company which, in turn, attracted more strategic buyers to the table than we expected. With their assistance, we were able to carefully examine the offers that were made. It was with their guidance and expertise that we were able to select the final offer and know that it would be the most beneficial transaction for us. We know that we made the right choice when we contracted Hyde Park Capital to market our business.”

Their marketing was outstanding, and they put us in touch with some of the best Private Equity and Strategic Buyers in our space. I could not have asked for a more professional team to help us through our final close. They did it all as well as help us find not only a quality equity buyer but a strong banker to help with our Debt side financing as well. I would most highly recommend Hyde Park to anyone looking for someone to help them with the sale of their company. Definitely a five-star firm!”
