A large majority of businesses are below $5 million dollars in transaction value. While many pieces are not as complex as a typical merger or acquisition, the steps are virtually the same. Our business sales division is specially tailored for this small business client.
Messina Mergers & Acquisitions represents sellers of privately-held businesses and corporate clients seeking to divest business assets. We achieve maximum pricing for our clients through our capability to identify and communicate the true value drivers of the business; knowledge of the buyer market; hands-on project management; and appropriate negotiation.
While price is usually the most important seller consideration, it is not the only consideration. Every sell-side engagement we serve begins with a clear understanding of the client’s goals, and we do not rest until objectives are met and exceeded.
We offer our expertise throughout the entire process:
- Providing total confidentiality
- Advisory services for the discernment of exploring a merger or acquisition
- Advisory services to prepare the company for a merger or acquisition
- Business valuation performance
- Provide value enhancement strategies to help add value during the process
