Where Main Street transactions focus on sales to
individuals, M&A activity involves sales to strategic corporations
or private equity groups. M&A transactions usually involve a more
sophisticated process requiring professionals who are experienced in
complex negotiations and transactions. When attempting to identify
strategic buyers with the highest level of synergies with the
seller’s operations it is imperative to conduct a national if not
world-wide search. To address these needs, Sunbelt offers
representation utilizing seasoned M&A professionals in many of
Sunbelt’s 350 offices nationwide plus our international offices
located in many foreign countries. Sunbelt is the largest intermediary
in the United States. We represented sellers in
over 3600 transactions in 2004! This affords Sunbelt a tremendous
amount of exposure to an unprecedented buyer pool. We look forward
to availing this level of exposure to our clients.
While our Main Street division concentrates on transaction sizes
that are less than $1 million our M&A division focuses on companies
valued between $1 million and $30 million. The M&A Division offers a
unique value proposition which centers around 3 key points:
- High level of representation
- No or minimal up-front fee
- National and international exposure
