FCC also works with management groups who are seeking to acquire the businesses they operate. 

            We advise our clients on:

·       The value of the target business;

·       Negotiation of the purchase; and

·       Financing negotiations.

 Divestiture Services

            FCC helps owners realize on their business investment by implementing an organized and thorough marketing campaign with limited time commitment from the owner and/or management. This includes:

            ·        Analysis of the value of the business;

·        Preparation of a descriptive offering memorandum;

·        Identification and confidential solicitation of likely acquirers; and

·        Negotiations with prospective acquirers.

 Private Debt and Equity Placements

 Other Services

            FCC provides other consultation related to strategic planning and corporate growth, crisis management and valuations. We bring a broad base of business knowledge with the important perspective of an independent counselor.

 Fee Structure

            FCC is results oriented and will structure fee agreements that are largely contingent upon successful completion of a transaction. Our fees, based upon a modified Lehman formula, are tailored for the middle market.
