Sell Side Advisory
Unfortunately, the countless generic pitches and inquiries manufacturers and value-added distributors often receive make it difficult to find acquirers who genuinely align with preserving the unique strengths of their company.
The daily demands of running your operations can leave little time to explore strategic options that ensure your legacy is protected while enabling a seamless transition to the next phase.
Many of our clients, both manufacturers and value-added distributors, weren’t actively seeking to sell, but when introduced to the right strategic acquirers aligned with their vision for preserving their company’s identity and continuity, they found a clear path forward that addressed their concerns.
Strategic Partner
When growth slows, it’s often due to limited resources, increased competition, or missing expertise.
A partial sale offers liquidity and reduces risk while keeping you in the game. Perfect for realizing assets, avoiding burnout, and accelerating growth by leveraging the synergies, resources, and expertise of a strategic partner.
Full Exit
Company owners who lack successors, are approaching retirement, or want to focus on personal interests such as health, family, or long-postponed passions.
A full exit to the right strategic buyer can provide substantial financial security, allowing you to reap the rewards of your hard work while ensuring your legacy is preserved.

F.A.Q.
What is the difference between a full exit and a partial sale?
A full exit involves selling your entire company, while a partial sale involves selling a portion (minority/majority) of your company to a strategic/financial partner.
Why should I consider selling my company?
A full exit offers you the chance to secure your financial future, enabling you to comfortably retire, explore other interests, or address any pressing personal financial needs. Whether it’s taking that dream vacation, supporting your family’s future, or simply enjoying well-deserved leisure time, a full exit can provide the means to make these aspirations a reality.
Alternatively, a partial sale to the right strategic partner can accelerate your company’s growth. By leveraging their expertise, resources, and liquidity, you can scale your company while maintaining an active role. This approach reduces risk, provides partial cash liquidity, and lets you enjoy the benefits of your strategic partner’s contributions.
How can I determine the right time to sell?
Timing your company’s sale is complex. Predicting market highs is tough, and waiting until you must sell limits options.
Whether planning a full exit or partial sale, we evaluate market conditions, your company’s performance, trends, and your goals. Our aim is to help you make informed decisions, selling when it best suits your unique situation, optimizing the outcome.
What's the typical timeline for selling my company?
The timeline for selling a company can vary due to factors like transaction complexity and individual circumstances. On average, for mid-size companies, an M&A transaction may take a few months to a year.

Then, we carefully select pre-identified potential buyers utilizing our marketing systems and vast network and create custom teasers to generate interest. For interested parties, we lead and support you through introductions to decision makers, discussions and negotiations, all with the goal of optimizing your outcome.
Our approach streamlines the process, reducing stress, and ensuring a successful transaction.

What happens to my role in the company after the sale?
In a full exit, you have the freedom to pursue personal goals or other ventures or even maintain a specific role within the company. In a partial sale to a strategic partner, your role can evolve, allowing you to remain actively involved while benefiting from your partner’s resources and expertise.
Why should I talk to Gevasi Group if I'm not looking to sell my company?
