M&A Advisory
Running an effective M&A process is about options. We help you effectively position the company by rolling up our sleeves and working with your team to produce the materials and strategy to expand the universe of buyers and maximize your total value.
Our #1 priority is to maximize the specific outcome for you and exceed your expectations from an advisor. M&A is a high-touch consultative business. We will work hard to understand your priorities, whether they be focused on price, future earnings potential, employee retention, culture fit, or any other characteristics.
Criteria for selecting your banking partner:
- Good culture fit: We will spend the time on the front end to ensure we have a good relationship. Understanding both your needs and your motivations will help us align your interests with our process and the final outcome.
- Willingness to partner: If we don’t feel we add maximum value to the expected outcome we will either partner or refer you to a more relevant bank for your needs.
- Focus should be on you: Many banks run you through a templatized process. Middle market companies are too diverse for this approach. We will spend as much time as is necessary to determine your specific needs and therefore the most relevant process to run.
- Effort & creativity: Middle market transactions vary from large transactions as there can be literally hundreds of potential buyers. Within the financial and strategic buyer population a different approach and positioning will be required to garner interest. You need an advisor who will spend the time to make the calls, but also to work out the positioning for different markets and angles for the business.
Capital Raising Services
Bay Capital Partners actively raises capital for clients. Whether owners are seeking full, partial liquidity or growth capital we can find you the best partner for your business. We have extensive relationships across the private investor, venture capital, and private equity markets. Determining which source of capital is an important, early step in the process.
Common Sources of Capital:
- Private Investors: Private accredited investors can be a good source of capital. Specific individuals who are influential or knowledgeable about your business can be targeted. Small capital raises are often led by private investors.
- Venture Capital: The venture capital market is a good source of capital when you are looking for a partner to help you scale your business. Most venture investors will be looking for large market opportunities and great teams.
- Private Equity: Private equity is a good fit for founder liquidity and growth capital for companies that are at or near profitability. Transactions can be for as little as 20% of the company’s equity up to 100%. Contact Us
