Exit Strategies that Provide Maximum Results
Get the Vant Seller's Advantage. Selling a business is often the largest financial transaction of one's life. More money can be gained or lost in the sale of a business than in any other deal.
We've sold over 90% of our listings vs. the industry average of 38%. The Vant Group specializes in transactions for businesses with revenues up to $100 Million and offer the strongest sell-side performance metrics in the industry. The difference will be seen in how well your Sell-Side Representative sources the best buyer and how accurately the valuation of your company is developed, presented and negotiated to achieve maximum results. We start the selling process by asking the right questions. Our experience enables us to anticipate the financing needs and tax implications of the sale—to best negotiate with each type of buyer. We're with you at every step.
Our Strategic Relationships Provide Added Value
Get the Vant Buyer's Advantage. Many small businesses are growing faster through acquisition than through sales. In addition, many executives are leaving their corporate careers to buy a business and live the American Dream.
Our strategic relationships with other investment bankers, business brokers, CPA firms and Financial Advisors allows us to tap into a network of business owners who are looking for an exit, but have not marketed the business for sale. When we find the right business, we assist our clients from the due-diligence phase through negotiating, and ultimately to closing. This ensures not only a good business fit, but also a fair purchase price.
The Vant Group takes both an active and passive approach in assisting buyers with qualified acquisition opportunities. With the active approach, we work with you to source, qualify, value, fund and close your next business acquisition. Whether you are an individual buyer looking to buy your first business or a Private Equity Group looking for deal flow, we have buyer representation designed for you.
We know how to navigate the mine field that is the small-to-lower middle market. Once we find the right deal, we work to make sure that the numbers are accurately represented. We help you structure the deal to increase the likelihood of financing. We also work closely with the selling broker to close the deal—so that your dreams of becoming a business owner become a reality.
With the passive approach, we will reach out to you to gather more information on the type of businesses you are looking to acquire. We will save your preferences and when an opportunity arises, we will provide you with high-level information about the business.
