You’ve spent years building and nurturing your business, wearing many hats and often running out of time before the to-do list was done. Your hard work has paid off, but like many business owners, your business has now grown to the point, that at times, it seems your business owns you!  Maybe you would like to sell your business, but you are not sure what exit strategy would be best for you, your family, and your employees. 

By partnering with Raymond James, we can provide our business owners access to the Raymond James Investment Banking department.  Through deep industry knowledge and transaction expertise, they have become one of the leading full-service investment banking firms in the U.S. catering to middle-market growth companies.

With over 700 industry-focused Investment Bankers, we cover a diverse range of industries including Diversified Industrials, Energy, Healthcare, Financial Services, Real Estate, Technology & Services, Consumer & Retail, and Convenience Store & Fuel Products Distribution. This industry-focused approach allows us to offer tailored guidance, helping your business thrive in its respective market.

It’s a fact that when business owners decide they are ready to sell, most of them over-estimate the current market value of their business, while drastically underestimating it’s value potential.  Sometimes just a few changes that mirror best-in-industry practices, or a strategic partnership providing the capital and expertise necessary to rapidly scale your business, is all it takes to multiply your market value by 3, 5, or even 10 times before you sell.  

These really are life changing events, and why we’re so passionate about what we do.  It’s also why the Raymond James Investment Banking department has earned accolades like being named “Investment Banking Firm of the Year” by The M&A Advisor and “USA Middle Market M&A Investment Bank of the Year” by the Global M&A Network in 2016.

Our goal is to help ensure you have the specific support and resources needed for continued success.  When you begin to consider selling your business, we understand that this will be one of the most significant decisions you’ll ever make, and our experienced team is committed to helping you navigate this complex process with confidence, and ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.
