Our Services
HRC provides comprehensive advisory services to companies with revenues of $5-75 million seeking to execute on transformative strategic transactions. We act as an extension of the management team, working closely with owners to provide sophisticated guidance on all aspects of M&A and financing.
Sell-Side M&A
HRC advises business owners to maximize the value of their equity, increase the likelihood of a successful closing, and minimize the distraction of an M&A process. We quarterback and execute on proactive sale processes to not only engage with inbound inquiries, but more importantly, get in front of the most synergistic acquirers, which translates to significant intrinsic value. We leverage our nearly forty years of experience across ~70 deals to ensure the most optimal story is told for your business, substantiated by comprehensive financial and operational reporting. We support entrepreneurs through the entire M&A journey from start to finish, and even after closing.
BUY-SIDE ADVISORY
For entrepreneurs seeking to bolster their growth inorganically, HRC provides buy-side advisory services to support the identification, evaluation, and execution of accretive add-on acquisitions, which can be transformative from a growth and value creation perspective. This includes devising a strategy for identifying the most synergistic target types and thoroughly canvassing the market for those who meet the criteria, are interested in being acquired, and are at the correct valuation. We then provide vetted, teed-up opportunities, with sufficient operational and financial background information. Furthermore, HRC provides execution support in areas such as due diligence, building and maintaining complex financial merger models for capital raise purposes, and other tasks related to the deal process. HRC adds significant horsepower and expertise acquisition efforts.
Capital Raise Advisory
HRC advises entrepreneurs on securing outside capital, be it private equity or non-traditional debt, ranging between $10-100 million. This includes guidance on cost of capital (debt vs. equity), types of structures, and ultimately what is most advantageous to the company and its shareholders. Over the years, HRC has amassed a deep Rolodex of debt and equity investors highly active in the verticals we target, many of whom have had successful past investment experiences and are looking to redeploy capital in similar companies. Such savvy investors can provide true value-add to business owners in addition to capital, as well as often providing a more full valuation, due to their understanding of the business models, growth potential, and exit values.
M&A Readiness
HRC partners with best-in-class professionals it has worked with over several successful transactions to prepare companies for exit 12-36 months in advance of a transaction. For founders who are bullish about their growth and profit trajectory and seek to get ahead of what is required when selling to large, private-equity-backed strategics or even public companies, HRC offers highly valuable services that ensure accounting and finance are at institutional levels.
