At SLATE Partners we advise clients on a variety of sell-side transactions. Our clients include family and entrepreneur owned businesses as well as private equity sponsors. Our sell-side process is designed to maximize valuation potential, minimize time commitment & distractions, and maximize certainty of close. This is achieved though the execution of several key factors we have developed and honed over the last 20 years:
| Expert knowledge of buyers and unparalleled access to them
We have strong relationships with the financial and strategic buyers that focus on the BMS industry, meeting with them regularly. Buyers value our industry knowledge and the clients we introduce them to. These relationships allow us to create a unique buyer list for our clients, maximizing market interest and competition in our processes.
| Tailored processes and positioning
Because each owner’s transaction goals are different, we work with our clients to develop a custom strategy aimed at realizing their specific needs. Our customized process and extensive buyer knowledge allows us to position and market our clients in a manner that maximizes the perceived value of the business for each buyer.
| Full-service capabilities with boutique client service
Our senior bankers are actively involved in every deliverable of the transaction, with a full complement of junior bankers to provide valuable execution support. This approach allows us to provide the full services of a large investment bank combined with the high-touch involvement of a boutique firm.
| Minimized owner and business time commitment
An M&A transaction is an important yet inherently time intensive process. By taking an in-depth and interactive advisory role, we save our clients valuable time by managing all stages of the transaction, from the preparation of marketing materials and interactions with buyers to coordinating final due diligence with other transaction advisors. This minimizes distraction and allows our clients and their management teams to focus on running their businesses.
