ASG Partners is a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm with a rare blend of expertise. Years of experience managing and selling privately-held companies have given us unique insights into increasing the value of a business. We offer these insights to business owners who would like to increase – or realize – the value of their own companies.

Many business owners could make their companies more valuable with a little time and some good planning. We assess your company’s existing operational and financial strengths and challenges, and help you identify ways to increase business valuation ahead of the sale.

Regardless of whether you plan to pass your company on to the next generation of family members, transition it to employees, or sell it to a third party, we can help you make the company more valuable. Learn more by reading about our Consulting Services.

We represent business owners when they are ready to sell; we find multiple buyers, engage them in a competitive process, and help our sellerclients negotiate successful transactions – all while protecting your confidentiality and minimizing litigation and risk.

Our process for selling a company has been refined over more than three decades and hundreds of transactions. We invite you to learn more about our M&A Services and our process for selling companies.

Selling a business requires only one buyer – but engaging multiple prospective buyers increases the probability of maximizing your rewards. Our process is designed to engage multiple buyers that are financially and professionally qualified.

We exclusively represent sellers, but we maintain an active network of companies, private equity firms and other investors that are looking to buy middle market businesses. Our extensive buyer network has been built over more than three decades of representing sellers and working with all types of buyers, CPAs, and attorneys. We leverage this network, along with other targeted marketing efforts, to identify and engage qualified buyers from within the region, across the country, and around the globe.

We focus on identifying buyers who have the skills, aspirations, and resources to grow your company – since buyers that fit this profile may be willing to pay more than others. Once we have identified them, we proactively (but confidentially) contact prospective buyers with a small amount of information about your business – just enough for them to assess whether or not they are interested in the opportunity, but not enough to breach confidentiality.

Those buyers who demonstrate interest are then screened and qualified by an ASG mergers and acquisitions specialist. Once we are convinced they are legitimate prospective buyers and they have signed a confidentiality agreement, then they receive a Confidential Business Review, or CBR (sometimes referred to as an Offering Memorandum or Prospectus).

The ASG Partners CBR is a high-quality professional package that describes your company. It tells buyers the story of your company’s past, highlights the operation’s strengths, discloses any issues, and helps buyers familiarize themselves with the future of your business.
