The Private Equity Exchange™ Acquisition Search
If you are serious about making an acquisition in a timely fashion, this option is the most effective way to locate and acquire a manufacturing, distribution, sales or business services company in the San Francisco Bay Area. Under this option, we work with you to develop useful acquisition criteria, conduct a proactive search, bring you deals to consider, and then help you consummate a transaction. Very few business intermediaries have expertise in acquisition search projects. Most intermediaries prefer working for sellers, and rarely work proactively on projects initiated by Buyers. We are one of the few that not only have the expertise, but really enjoy the acquisition process. Maybe that's why we get great results! 

The Private Acquisition System
The Private Acquisition System™ is a Unique Process designed to maximize the probability of the successful acquisition of a private company in the minimum amount of time and at the optimum terms. It is a proven, predictable system for developing actionable acquisition criteria; locating, qualifying and matching opportunities; and producing an Excellent Exchange™. Click here for more details.

"Having arranged financing on numerous business acquisitions over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to work with Michael Sipe and Private Equities on a number of transactions. As an intermediary, Mike is undeniably among the elite in his field.

Private Equities' marketing packages are detailed, meticulously prepared and well presented, with an emphasis on confidentiality and ethics. Buyers and Sellers are carefully matched to optimize success. Furthermore, Mike possesses an innate ability to interface effectively with all parties involved in a transaction, including buyer and seller and their respective attorneys, CPAs, bankers, vendors, creditors, landlords, boards of directors, insurance agents, etc. His capacity to communicate clearly and to skillfully coordinate the process helps to facilitate a smooth close to each transaction."

Business Development

Transaction Assistance. If you locate a business that you would like to acquire, Private Equities can help you evaluate the company and complete an acquisition. Deal structuring, contract review, transaction analysis, negotiations, business valuations, detailed financial analysis, proforma financial preparation, business planning, arranging debt, and occasionally, equity financing, are some examples of the transactional services we can provide. Our consulting services can be a very cost effective way to get a market-savvy perspective on your potential sale.

Valuation. Whether for a sanity check or as required to arrange financing, a valuation of your acquisition candidate may be appropriate. Since we are closely connected to the market and do business evaluations solely for management purposes, our fees are significantly lower than valuation firms oriented to valuations used for litigation support or IRS disputes.

Business Development. Once you own your new business, our EquiDesign™ Consulting Services are available to assist you with building a strong, saleable company of increasing value. Liquidity plus Value equals Equity, and it does not happen by accident. There is a systematic set of steps you can take to optimize the value of your company in preparation for ultimate re-sale.

Registration
Some buyers are at an early stage in their acquisition process and others desire to conduct an independent search for investment opportunities. We maintain an extensive database of potential buyers, so please complete our questionnaire so that we may open a file for you. It's a good idea to take the registration step at a minimum, which incurs no obligation on your part or ours, but which at least gives us some initial insight into the type of opportunities which we might be able to direct your way.
