The Raincatcher Process
Our Specialized M&A Advisory Auction Process
Our M&A Process is Specifically Designed to Maximize Transaction Proceeds and Terms for our Clients with $1M+ in Annual EBITDA
Sell-side due diligence
Due diligence is traditionally done by business buyers and not business brokers. However, our comprehensive sell-side process includes a diligence process before we bring a business to market. Learn more about diligence on our M&A consulting post.
Our comprehensive diligence process is designed to drive the highest value for the business owner, as buyers know that there won’t be any skeletons in the closet once they submit an offer and start spending money on legal and financial due diligence.
Specially designed brokerage or M&A auction process
Depending on the size of your business and industry your company operates in, we may recommend a traditional brokerage process with a listing price. Or, a competitive auction process with buyers submitting the price and terms for negotiation.
Our buyer list is comprehensive and will be tailored to include (or exclude) and participants in your industry who may make great strategic buyers or who you want to avoid knowing the business is on the market.
Short-listing finalists
It isn’t uncommon for strong, sizable companies to get 5+ indications of interest (soft offers). We’ll then validate those buyer groups, attend dinners where they meet out clients, prepare further data on the business and negotiate the deal terms that buyers will propose in their final offer.
Negotiate LOI terms and facilitate diligence
Once LOI’s have been received from potential buyers we work with our clients to select the most attractive offer before executing the exclusive LOI.
It’s common for diligence to take 60-90 days before closing. This requires a significant time commitment from all parties. Additionally, final deal points are negotiated and contested during this period.
