Buying a Company

Looking to grow your business? The right acquisition can greatly improve your company’s shareholder value, expand your market presence and/or product portfolio, diversify risk, and even enhance your internal culture and day–to–day operations.

At Bulkley Capital, we strive to ensure each of our buy–side searches results in nothing less than the right fit for your business. Using our in–depth industry experience and resources, we identify and seek out target acquisitions that serve your strategic business goals – whether they’re for sale or not. We work alongside institutional investors, sponsor groups, middle–market companies and venture capital–backed entities to deliver growth–by–acquisition strategies and results executed on your terms.

Our process includes:

• Establishing specific criteria for acquisitions, consistent with the company’s strategic goals and risk tolerance
• Proactively identifying and evaluating strategic acquisitions
• Performing in–depth business, industry and financial analyses, and enterprise valuations
• Negotiating and structuring complex transactions
• Designing the optimal capital structure and arranging any necessary financing
• Helping to coordinate diligence
• Negotiating all closing documents

Strategic Acquisition Program
When you’re looking to expand, strategic growth by acquisition often represents a faster, more cost effective and, in many ways, less risky path than continued business–as–usual. But success in strategic expansion depends on taking the initiative, controlling the process, and sticking to your goals. That’s where the team at Bulkley Capital comes in. Our professionals will design a strategy that utilizes specific criteria to identify a select number of complementary targets, perform in–depth market valuations, and negotiate the transaction based on the agreed–upon criteria.

Buyouts & Management Buyouts
Bulkley Capital represents management teams who have an opportunity to acquire the company they are currently running, or operating executives who are seeking to purchase an existing business. What is often underestimated in prospective buyout transactions is the importance of raising the capital in advance. Identifying the opportunity, controlling the timing, and negotiating the ideal terms will mean little unless you can write the check. The experts at Bulkley Capital are experienced at finding the right debt and equity partners to complement your plan, as well as negotiating the acquisition on the most favorable terms possible.
