Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers & Acquisitions
What should the response be when a potentially attractive strategic partner comes knocking and offers to buy the company? Should the Company consider a partial or full sale? Is the offer reasonable and can it be improved with a more competitive process involving other suitors?
Belden Hill Partners understands that clients are often unsure about considering a liquidity event for their family owned or closely held business, even when they suspect that the timing may be right. The pressure to maintain the family’s business legacy and the innate distrust of larger strategic buyers often manifests itself in avoidance of the liquidity issue or a reactionary, rather than a proactive, approach.
Our experience working with family and closely held businesses allows us to help clients understand their choices and their long-term impact for more informed business and family decision-making to navigate these important issues.
