Insights

Most successful middle market companies have mastered the art of growing their companies organically. Management teams are built around product and industry knowledge and are extremely proficient in their field. However, many mid-market companies have come to the realization that growth through acquisition is a strategy they should consider. Unfortunately many middle market companies do not have the resources or experience to begin a successful search for a target company. The problem becomes even more apparent if the company decides that it must diversify into new industries.

Schneider Downs Corporate Finance (SDCF) can provide you with the expertise to grow through acquisition. Our experienced senior directors have over 100 years of merger and acquisition experience. We will assist you in developing the criteria and quantitative parameters of potential target companies. SDCF’s role is to find suitable targets that meet the quantitative test, determine the value of the companies, prepare letters of intent and perform initial due diligence, working with the targets’ management team. Meetings can be held monthly or more often, as necessary, to review the findings and evaluate the process.

Whether for diversification or for strategic reasons, middle market companies should consider acquisition as a potential growth strategy. Many times, lack of experience and/or personnel will deter a company from pursuing such a beneficial strategy. Outsourcing the function to a capable third party like SDCF is an alternative that has proved very successful to our clients.

Please feel free to contact a member of our investment banking team to find out how this strategy can be beneficial to your company’s growth.
