How Is a Working Capital Peg Set in an M&A Transaction?

“The business will be delivered with a normalized level of working capital.”

Preparing the Next Generation: Should Your Children Take Over the Family Business?

When it's time for you to retire, you will need to decide whether to sell your business, have an employee take over, or pass it on to the next generation. You will need to identify successors within your company and give them the time and opportunity to develop their skills and experience to replace you.

How M&A Strategies Can Set You Up For a Better Retirement

In today’s dynamic financial landscape, many business owners are seeking innovative ways to secure a comfortable retirement. One sometimes-overlooked strategy is mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which can be used by business leaders, savvy investors, and entrepreneurs to build wealth over time. When strategically executed, M&A tactics can help you to facilitate portfolio growth, generate passive income, and ultimately contribute to a more secure and prosperous retirement.

Legacy Matters: Turn Your Family Business into Generational Wealth

Family-owned companies are important to the overall economy and the fabric of the global business landscape. But it is not always easy to sustain their success spanning generations. Most businesses do not even reach the second generation, and even fewer make it to the third. However, well-run family companies tend to be more profitable and stay in business longer than other privately owned companies.

The Impact Of Interest Rate Reductions On M&A Transactions

The Federal Reserve recently reduced interest rates by 50 basis points (4.75%-5.00%), the first rate reduction in over four years. This swing in policy change and significant first reduction is a major statement, with further cuts likely to occur in the foreseeable future. For the M&A market, this news brings opportunities for sellers, with lower borrowing costs leading to more favorable terms and an overall smoother process.

The team brought multiple offers to the table, and created a competitive bid process among some of the top names in the industry.

Benchmark International has the knowledge and experience to manage and assist the many obstacles that a business owner faces when going through the sale of a business. In working with Benchmark International on the sale of MC Communications, I felt that their various teams understood my goals and exit objectives. With the knowledge of my specific objectives, Benchmark International was able to source a deal that would provide my business, employees, and clients a greater level of service and opportunities. Benchmark International’s perseverance and dedication to finding solutions got the deal across the line.

Mike Crawford
MC Communications

 I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to all those at Benchmark International who played such an important part in the sale of my company. I am very pleased that a satisfactory sale was completed within just a year of being on the market. The service provided and the strong influence the team had enabled such a great deal and an exceptional experience.

Steve Briggs

I am delighted with the work that Benchmark International have done and I don’t think the deal would have been so much of a success without their involvement.

Nigel Howard

Thanks very much to all the team at Benchmark for all your help and commitment in making this sale a reality, we both really do appreciate it.
