BUSINESS EXIT SERVICES
- HELPING YOU GROW OR EXIT.
- For more than 20 years, RVR has provided sell-side and buy-side advisory solutions to middle-market business owners and companies to execute their growth strategies. A key factor to our success comes directly from our perspective, our personal experience buying and selling companies of our own, helping business owners create value, and truly understanding what it takes to grow a company successfully. This experience makes us uniquely qualified and effective, more than the average broker or investment banker, to help our clients assess, prepare, and make the right decisions that deliver maximum value.
- We take an iterative, highly collaborative approach, serving as a partner to our clients and drawing on our many years of expertise and practice in successfully executing hundreds of M&A transactions across multiple sectors. RVR’s comprehensive and proven processes guide the sale or acquisition of companies and the prioritization of personal and company objectives. We help guide our clients through the path that’s best for them by evaluating their readiness, preparing for acquisition or exit, and determining the right time to move forward.
- IMPORTANCE OF AN EXIT AND SUCCESSION PLAN
- Every company needs a succession plan and exit strategy regardless of size, type, or stage in the business lifecycle. Succession planning is building the playbook for a successful transition of the business to the next generation of management. Exit planning is the intentional development of a plan to optimally position your company to achieve the highest enterprise value at the best terms at exit. RVR regularly helps business owners explore their options and build the best path forward taking into account all options and owner desires.
- UNDERSTANDING AN OWNER’S EXIT OPTIONS

- RVR’S M&A TENETS
- RVR strongly believes that there are key understandings when approaching an M&A Process:
- PREPARATION IS KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL EXIT
- We will work with you to truly understand the attractors and detractors of your business so that we can portray the company in the best light to a buyer.
- WEAKNESSES MUST BE ADDRESSED
- We must collectively get ahead of potentially negative items, so they do not come out in due diligence and impact the deal. Understanding these items allows us to control the narrative and perception of their impact and maximize the certainty of closing.
- MINIMIZE UNCERTAINTY AND MAXIMIZE THE CHANCE OF CLOSE
- false start in a transaction is costly to a business, especially from a time, cost, and focus perspective. RVR strongly believes proper preparation and a true understanding of the market the company is being sold into greatly improves the chance of success. RVR is uniquely positioned through our consulting success to ensure weaknesses are uncovered and a realistic plan to address each is developed.
- THE GOAL IS TO MAXIMIZE VALUE WHILE BALANCING THE OPTIMAL TRANSACTION STRUCTURE
- RVR will work with you to understand your goals for yourself, your family, your team, and your business and then balance those considerations with valuation.
- MAXIMIZING VALUE STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER’S ULTIMATE RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT
- Said differently, we understand the buyer’s most likely return objectives and can drive them to the top of their ranges for your specific company’s situation.
- CHALLENGES WILL ARISE AND WE WILL WORK THROUGH THEM
- We will be with you every step of the way. Our team members are entrepreneurs and former successful business owners; we understand the stress and emotions of this process.
