We develop and execute acquisition strategies for our clients in conjunction with their overall business strategy. Utilizing our broad range of industry contacts and proprietary databases, we quickly identify acquisition targets that are synergistic to clients’ current operations and growth strategy. We analyze the target’s business in conjunction with the economy, industry, market and competition to understand the components of value. From initial contact to the execution of a definitive agreement, we actively manage and negotiate the entire transaction. Leveraging our extensive buy-side transaction experience, clients can pursue their business development goals but also remain focused on running their existing business.

Our acquisition experience includes representing both public and private clients, private equity groups and international companies. We also can creatively assist clients in arranging financing required to consummate an acquisition.

Greystone advises sellers of specific assets, business divisions, and entire companies on an exclusive basis. We prepare detailed valuations, provide recommendations for value enhancement, and research the marketplace for the most logical buyers. As a boutique firm, we custom-tailor each offering to achieve the client’s objective while minimizing disruption and preserving confidentiality. Utilizing our intimate knowledge of the industry, we generate high-quality offering materials that clearly highlight the key operational, financial and investment attributes of the business.

Depending on the respective circumstances, we engage in direct negotiations with a limited number of buyers or run a process that leverages our network of qualified financial and strategic buyers. Regardless of the scope, we are actively involved in the negotiation of transaction documents, including letters of intent and definitive asset or stock purchase agreements.

In addition to acquisitions and divestitures, Greystone represents private and public companies in merger transactions and other business combinations. We help our clients identify, assess and capitalize on growth opportunities that enhance value. Our extensive experience and broad service offerings allows us to creatively structure and engineer unique transactions to satisfy a variety of requirements.
