MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS ADVISORS
What do we do?
We provide advice to sellers of businesses, which includes all of the necessary matters needed to complete a successful business transaction. The ship on our masthead is the USS Tenacious --that is what we offer--we work for you to complete your transaction with complete dedication, professionalism and tenacity.
Industry experience. We have closed a significant number of transactions within the last few years. Extensive buyer contacts. We are known by most major buyers as a firm that represents only quality companies. This gives us immediate access to the decision makers in these companies-that results in quick responses and action. Completely confidential. We work with great care to make sure that all initial contact is done in a manner that prevents anyone from knowing who we represent. R L Davidson utilizes a two-step marketing approach to insure confidentiality. First we create a "Blind Profile" to familiarize potential acquirers with our client. This brief overview, which is non-specific as to who the acquisition candidate is, allows prospects to determine if the particular opportunity meets their strategic requirements. Once the “Blind Profile” is reviewed, the buyer signs a Confidentiality Agreement (CA), identifying your Company only by a pre-assigned “Client Number” prior to receiving any additional information. After signing the CA, with your permission, they receive a detailed Business Overview, which is created by R L Davidson. Successful transactions. We have helped sellers over the years achieve their goal of selling their business at the value they want, in the timeframe they want and with a minimal amount of disruption. We market attributes not valuations. We market your company with professionalism; emphasizing key positive factors to maximize the value---WE NEVER MARKET PRICE. We always let the buyer speak to value first. Contingent Fee Structure. One way of insuring that our clients receive the unsurpassed service is through our fee structure. R L Davidson's fee is 100% contingent based upon the completion of a successful transaction. Our way of insuring a transaction is completed is to make sure you are confident that your Company is receiving the best deal possible in the marketplace. Our expertise in the market, combined with a "limited auction" marketing process, assures that our clients receive the best transaction the marketplace will bear. We represent you and your company. We work in your best interest at all times. You will control the process. Nothing goes to anyone without having a NDA in place and with your specific approval about who we send info and what is sent. Expertise. We have financial expertise that is used to provide you with the best "estimate" of the value of your company and provides guidance in all aspects of the deal. This will include assistance with price negotiations, LOI negotiations, Due Diligence process, Agreement negotiations and the Closing process. We offer guidance in all aspects of the transaction. This combines with our marketing expertise and knowledge of the potential buyers to offer you an extensive array of knowledge and services.
Why Hire Us?
Experienced and Professional Selling a company is something most CEO/owners do only once in their lifetime. It is a very complex process. The best way to achieve the results you want from this process is to hire qualified professionals who have been there before. We can provide you with lists of things you should know, you can buy many books on the subject matter, you can hire an attorney or accountant; but unless you get advice from people who have done it before you could make a very costly mistake. Obtaining the highest price for your company requires a systematic approach to the selling process. Thorough preparation we can ensure fair terms and a favorable price. This involves preparing the company for sale, writing a descriptive selling memorandum that attracts acquirers, selecting potential acquirers from throughout the world, attracting a number of acquirers to compete among themselves, negotiation of the letter of intent, providing the necessary information for the successful acquirer’s due diligence process, negotiating the purchase agreement and closing the transaction. Each step in the process requires many judgments and considerations, while you need to remain focused on running your company.

Some of Our Transactions
Update 2022 Are deals still happening? Yes, and no. We are starting to see renewed interest in talking about transactions. So, deals can happen, but they have been slowed. The slow down on acquisitions is related to the uncertainty about the future. But many of the people we talk too are beginning to look further down the road and are currently looking for opportunities that can be accomplished in the short-term. Within our industry specialization we are seeing stable activity. We are currently in early discussions on several projects and anticipate some potential transactions this year. Business acquisitions are, of course, based on the future. And while there are market disruptions right now most industry leaders see good times in the near-term. All of our buyers are looking for the right deal that fits within their current organizations; we are not hearing anyone say price will be an issue. We believe the near “normal” market prices of the last few years will still be prevalent in the near-term future. We stay informed on day-to-day conditions within our industry and would be available to discuss any issues about doing a transaction during these unsettled times. There are no fees to our clients until a transaction is completed and all communication and information are protected by confidentiality agreements. Opportunities exist today for quality companies. Give us a call. 720-348-8562
