Sell-Side Merger & Acquisition Advisors
XPERIENTIAL GROUP is one of the industry leading merger & acquisition advisors providing transaction management to privately held and publicly traded businesses in sell-side transactions. We have managed transactions ranging from several million to more than $500MM dollars in value.
The Xg approach
When it comes to a company sale or partial divestiture, every owner has personal and professional goals, and each serves a community of stakeholders whose interests matter. XG represents sellers of privately-held businesses and corporate clients seeking to divest an entire company, business unit or asset. Clients rely upon our ability to identify and communicate the underlying value drivers in the business, manage the sales process, understanding of the strategies of each potential buyer, management of due diligence; and expert negotiation. If a client is not positioned to realize maximum value for the business, we recommend steps an owner can take before going to market that can lead to a higher value in an eventual sale.
Selling a company is complex, time consuming and one of the most important decisions an owner will ever make. Most company owners have never gone through a company sale or partial divestiture, working with an advisor can add significant value to the eventual sale price. Our experienced team works closely with you to develop an exit strategy unique to your business and goals. Based on decades of experience, we leverage our proven methodology to initiate a successful sales process to maximize the value of a client’s business.
