why hire an M&A advisor?

Buying or selling a business is a big decision with far reaching implications. Much like buying or selling a home, it’s possible to do it yourself, but there are unique skills that can increase your return, minimize obstacles and anticipate problems that can delay or derail a transaction. An M&A Advisor is your advocate with the singular focus of achieving a successful transaction.

Selling a Business

Optimizing value requires far more than simply finding a buyer.

Why hire Hart Marx Advisors to find a business to buy?

There are a few reasons. First, there are many businesses that simply won’t have an open discussion with another business owner or competitor. Secondly, it’s extremely time consuming and management is already busy running the business. Lastly, we generate results. For example, Hart Marx Advisors helped craft the ideal acquisition profile for a client and then confidentially found nearly 300 potential acquisition targets, with the majority being off-market companies. For the engagement period, this was an average of eight targets per month with one successful acquisition every 16 months.
