What happened

A manufacturer of military aircraft landing gear components in the Northeast came to us after having their business appraised by three other companies. Our valuation was 20% higher than the next highest. Our valuation was higher because it considered the difficulty of the company’s manufacturing processes, the tolerances required in the work, and how few manufacturers in the nation could do what they do.  The pitch book we developed for this client positioned them for success, told a compelling story, and produced the desired results.

Within 45 days of listing, we were fielding multiple offers. Post-closing Seller involvement was also a huge client concern. The retiring client will work part-time for a limited period, which is exactly what we were asked to aim for. The jobs are guaranteed to remain in the community, with a long-term lease in place.

And our 20% higher valuation – we beat it!

Every closed engagement is described this way. The company is never named, and no figure that could identify it is published (except where permission is granted) — during the process or after it.

Why no documents are available

The NDA and teaser came down at completion of the transaction. What a seller is owed in confidence during a sale, they are owed afterward.
