Buy & Sell Companies

What We Do

Setting the Stage

As a Pasadena Private client, we get to know your business and your financial goals. We often build relationships with clients well before a transaction occurs.

 

As you start to look towards a liquidity event (such as selling your company), we work with you to make sure your company is well positioned. This includes giving general advice on capital structure, estate planning and/or taxation, and introducing your business to potential acquirers when you are ready.

 

We invite you to preview our process below and contact us should you have any questions or wish to learn more.

The process to raise capital generally falls into three stages:

I. Pre-Offering

Step 1: Define funding strategy & Terms and Conditions

What deal are you looking for? What are you hoping to walk away with? What percentage of your business are you willing to part with in return for capital? Are you looking for mentorship or purely funds? The first step in the capital raise process is deciding exactly what success looks like for you.

 

If you have a clear plan in mind for the funds you want to secure, you’re more likely to secure investment, plus execution then becomes as easy as simply following your plan.

Step 2: Prepare Business Detail

Your business cannot exist in your head when you present to investors. Now is the time to research, document and project your numbers (users/customers, revenue, expenditure etc).

 

Investors will want to know about the market potential, your business model, your marketing strategy, budgets and so much more. Make sure you have this information at your fingertips.

Step 3: Find Investors

Identify investors active in the companies space and leverage our network to gain warm introductions.

Step 4: Create Pitch Presentation

We want to create and tell a compelling story that investors can’t refuse.

II. Offering

Step 5: Organize Meetings

The private capital raising process can be a numbers game in more ways than one. We create interest in taking meetings during the presentation roadshow so that investors can learn more about the opportunity directly from the CEO.

Step 6: Facilitate the Due Diligence Process

The work isn’t done just because the pitch is over. Once you’ve wowed investors with your presentation, it’s time to follow through with some impressive evidence. Interested investors will want to do due diligence, so having everything already prepared for them in a virtual data room is part of our preperation prior to going to market and a huge plus when it comes to attracting the attention of potential investors.

III. Closing

Step 7: Negotiate Partnership Agreement

We work with legal teams to draw up the partnership/debt agreement so it works for you, your investor, and the overall business.

Step 8: Sign & Celebrate

Congratulations! Your patience and hard work have paid off – now you can put your plan into action and show the investor/debt holder that your business is the success you know it can be.
