Sale & Divestiture Group
Sagent Advisors provides seller advisory services to public companies, privately held
businesses and private equity firms. The senior bankers in our Sale &
Divestiture Group founded and built the leading middle-market seller advisory
practice on Wall Street while they were at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette.
Our Approach. We oversee each phase of the sale process, including
due diligence, buyer identification, valuation, positioning of the business,
contacts with buyers, management preparation, and structuring and negotiation
of the transaction.
Buyer Knowledge. Our knowledge of middle-market buyers is extensive.
Together, our senior professionals have a broad and tested base of industry
knowledge to draw upon, and have completed over 1,000 sales transactions.
They also have a unique understanding of as well as access to over 200 middle-market
private equity firms through Sagent’s Private Equity Coverage Group and our senior
professionals.
Senior Attention. We provide senior-level, hands-on attention throughout
the assignment. Your transaction is important to us and will not be used
as a training ground for junior professionals.
Tailored Solutions. We believe that every sale assignment is unique,
and we tailor our recommended approach to fit the individual circumstances
and objectives of our client. A broad auction process may be appropriate
in some cases. In other circumstances, a more structured and narrow approach
is the best way to maximize value for our client while minimizing disruption
to the business being sold.
Independent Stapled Financing. When pre-arranged financing is appropriate,
we help clients secure a stapled financing product without the conflicts of
interest inherent in financing provided by a sell-side advisor. Due to our
experience and broad range of lender relationships, we can locate the most
attractive stapled financing for the seller ─ at no additional cost
to our client.
If you would like to speak to us about a sale or divestiture
project with an expected value of $50 million to $500 million, please contact
one of the professionals in our Sale & Divestiture Group.
