Sell your Business For Top Dollar
If you are looking to sell a Business we can help..
As Merger & Acquisition experts we work with you not against you. As an intermediary between you and the buyer we have your best interest in mind. Crown Star Mergers & Acquisitions is one of the leading Mergers & Acquisition firms in the United States. We operate inside the USA, Canada & Europe.
Our unique Bid process forces buyers to compete against each other to acquire a Business listed by us. We are very selective on the businesses we allow to be presented to our buyer network and go through a competitive bid process.
Currently we do around $100 - $150 Million worth of deals each year.
Our highest priority is to get you the highest purchase price, with the right buyer. Most Brokerages and Merger & Acquisition Firms are deal killers. We know this because we've dealt with them all through our sister company an Independently sponsored PE Group. We've dealt with every major broker inside the United States for many years. Out of frustration on how poorly these brokers represented their clients, we launched our own intermediary firm. As Private Equity executives the founders of Crown Star Mergers & Acquisitions are uniquely qualified to get you the best deal possible.
We act more like an Investment Bank in how we operate.
Most brokerages take on too many listings to ever give your business the right amount of time and effort it needs. We only take on deal at a time - we are very selective on who we take on as clients.
At Crown Star Mergers & Acquisitions we give sellers many options to better align with their goals.
Liquidity is the name of the game - sometimes sellers don't want to sell at all, but they want or need liquidity. We help provide that.
Whether a seller wants to do a partial or full sale is the most important option to start off with. Sometimes sellers want to ease into retirement over 3 - 5 years.
Rule #1: We only take on deals we know we can close.
In the past we've only taken on large Businesses valued up to $100 Million. Now, if the deal makes since, and we believe we can get you top dollar for it, we would consider taking on smaller ones in the lower mid market.
Our sweet spot and most common Business we work with usually is valued at $20 - $50 Million dollars.
On occasion we will take on much smaller deals.
A partnership built on trust.
As a business owner, your company is your life's work. You've spent years building up industry expertise and working on strategies for success. You've lived and breathed the ups and downs, and weathered through the whims of the market.
However, the life of your business will extend long past your exit, and at some point you'll need to consider the trajectory for your business in years to come.
Whether you're looking to generate liquidity to fund a new business venture or just planning retirement, setting up succession can be one of the most challenging and strategic decisions of your career. But it can be made easier, more efficient and more successful when you choose to work with the right team.
The Benefits of Working with Us
FINANCIAL FREEDOM
Even if you have the smallest desire to someday stop working, most entrepreneurs work to reach financial freedom, where work is a choice and not a financial necessity.
IDEAL CALENDAR
Once you achieve financial freedom, you're faced with that you want to do, when you want and for as long as you want. Whether it's more time with family or more frequent tee times, we're here to help you realize just what your ideal calendar looks like.
BUSINESS LEGACY
Some business owners have deep pride in their companies and would like to see that it continues after their exit. Most are concerned with making sure their leaving does not harm key employees, worry customers or abandon the values and principles upon which the business was built.
PEACE OF MIND
Business owners have given the primes of their life to build their business. A successful exit creates an opening for renewing relationships and friendships.
