Mergers & Acquisitions

Exit Strategies

When founders and investors look for an exit or if strategy calls for divestiture, we help clients achieve these objectives with precision, speed and agility.

Our Approach

We help make important decisions around timing, cost, and efficiencies in transactions - including sale of carved-out businesses to corporate or financial buyers, a spin-off to current investors, or a sale in public markets to new investors.

How It Works

Choosing The Right Direction

Exit strategies can be intimidating. We help clients demystify this process. We help you understand your options and weigh them against your goals to devise strategies that best meet your needs: from divestitures to IPOs.

Charting The Path Forward

Exit strategies require robust planning combined with crafting a narrative and establishing milestones. Our clients leverage our deep industry relationships to engage, communicate and collaborate with outside accounting and legal teams, regulatory bodies, and investors. We ensure that our clients stay one step ahead on every front, always.

Polishing Up The Fine Details

Devil is in the details. But you have nothing to worry about; we will help you surmount it all: negotiations, talent transition and management, design, and implementation of governance and organization protocols, and budgeting and forecasting. We work as an extension of your team to support in every aspect of transaction planning and execution.

Accountability

We plan each step of the process down to the very last details. We help you budget, forecast, and compare actual results against expectations so that everyone on your team (including us) is held accountable.

Leveraging The Power Of Capital Markets

We provide bespoke solutions to companies exploring public exit, asset sale, or capital raise strategies through the capital markets. Here we take a life-cycle agnostic approach and advise clients ranging from early-stage companies to publicly traded companies. The foremost focus is to build an agile capital markets plan embedded with finance, marketing, legal, and accounting strategies. We work with outside legal, capital, accounting, and audit teams to drive this process over the finish line so you can focus on the important decisions around equity and control rights. We can advise you on that as well. This process generally involves developing two separate business plans, one for the OpCo and the second for the PubCo. When it comes to the OpCo, we take a backseat and help with only the necessary technical requirements. At the PubCo level, we are more involved. We develop a strategy for each, finance, accounting, marketing, recruiting and HR, investor relations, legal and compliance, and research and analytics. The synergies between these different functions are what drive the overall capital markets strategy to your final goal: public exit and/or capital raise.
