Exit Strategies

Statistically speaking, the next 5-10 years will see thousands of businesses being put into play. With all of this supply, will there be enough buyers to return the true value you have built? Sure, there will always be a buyer at the right price, however, it is their right price or yours? At AG Capital, we start with finding the right buyers and matching them with the perfect candidate. It is only then that the right price can be achieved for both parties. We only contact owners if we have the right buyer already in place. If you are hearing from us, you will want to hear from our private equity partner.

Our methodology begins with the idea that, even in a buyer's market, fair value can be achieved when there is a strategic buyer. This is an investor who has narrowly defined their target market, company size and performance metrics. When there is a match, we typically see a valuable engagement and successful conclusion.

AG Capital's philosophy involves bringing the buyer to the seller. The standard approach in private equity is to shotgun a potential seller out to as many investors as possible, hoping something sticks. By turning the sales process on its head, we have found the quality of our introductions is superior to the open market.

So what is a quality buyer? The answer depends upon your needs and those of the company. Some groups are expert at capital expansion others at acquisitions or divestitures. If your exit strategy requires management transition, we have partners who can provide full-time, executive talent to run the day-to-day operations.

Often, quality buyers are not open to companies widely distributed for sale in the marketplace. Many sellers miss the chance at more selective buyer introductions because these groups avoid the frenzy of an auction environment. While an owner can believe he is getting the best deal because most potential buyers have seen his company for sale, many times the opposite is true.

AG Capital has a vested interest in seeing each sale achieve long-term success. It is only in reaching that goal that we can continue to match quality investors with exceptional ownership.
