BUY SIDE: In some cases, buyers know what they want to buy but cannot find what they are looking for on the open market. Buyers contact Thrive Acquisition to set up exclusive representation to help them acquire their target. As a buyer’s agent, Thrive Acquisition can help create a targeted list, research suitability for acquisition, approach the owner, and begin the acquisition process. A buyer has only one chance to make a good first impression with the owner of the target acquisition.
In this way, buyers leverage Thrive Acquisition’s experience, reputation, local presence, professional network, and negotiating capabilities. The buyer’s identification remains confidential until the parties are ready to engage. Buyers use the confidential approach method to “cherry-pick” bolt-on enterprises or expand market reach with minimal exposure. Once the lines of communication are open between parties, buyers use Thrive Acquisition to help analyze the target in detail. Thrive Acquisition studies sold business entity and real estate comps to calculate desired ROI in helping the buyer prepare an offer. Thrive Acquisition also assists buyer clients by recommending additional professional service providers needed to assemble a robust deal-making team. Attorneys, CPAs, Environmental Inspectors, Building Inspectors, Builders, Lenders, Interior Designers, and numerous other professionals each contribute to a a successful and profitable outcome.
SELL SIDE: In some cases, sellers have someone in mind to continue their business but do not know if that individual is interested or able to take on business ownership. Sellers contact Thrive Acquisition to set up exclusive representation to help them prepare a private, off-market offer to sell. Some sellers think that no one would want their business, while others think that buyers are everywhere. Regardless of which end of the spectrum is true for that particular business, Thrive Acquisition can assist a seller candidate with a business valuation to form an opinion of the “Most Probable Selling Price” based on current market conditions and the attributes of that business or piece of real estate. A confidential approach allows preferred buyer candidates the right of first refusal before extending the sale opportunity to the broader community. Sellers count on Thrive Acquisition to establish a reasonable framework for price expectation, a timeline, terms, and conditions to set the stage for a successful transition.
