SELL-SIDE M&A ADVISORY SERVICES
- READY, SET, SELL.
- As an owner, the sale or transfer of all or part of your business ownership will rank among the most important and emotional decisions you will ever make and one of the most significant financial transactions of your lifetime. You've likely spent years working on and investing in building a valuable business. So, when you're ready to sell, it's only natural that you want maximum sales value to meet your financial, non-financial, or altruistic goals.

For the best outcomes, you need an experienced and industry-savvy M&A advisory team like RVR, who partners with you as a powerful and proactive advocate throughout the process.

- 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.
- ALIGNMENT OF INTERESTS AND ALTERNATIVE OFF-RAMPS
- We value your success and aim to maximize the value of any transaction. If you're not prepared to go to market, we will provide honest feedback and reasons why. We never want to rush you into a deal that may result in significant losses of time, capital, and emotional energy. As a Consulting and M&A Firm, we ensure there is no conflict of interest, and we can assist you regardless of your readiness level. Our priority is to help you succeed, and we will never push you toward a transaction prematurely.
- 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
