The decision to sell or divest a business is one of the most important events in a company’s history. Consider the following benefits to working with Stoddard Hill Capital:

• Full market price for healthy businesses with future growth opportunities.
• Management that will lead the company after the sale. Our management team and advisor depth allows the owner an opportunity to exit the business for retirement, health, business, or financial planning reasons.
• Company operated as an ongoing entity. Unlike strategic buyers, who often seek consolidation opportunities, Stoddard Hill plans to continue growing the company you have built as a stand-alone enterprise.
• Employee and community welfare. We realize that great companies are built by great employees, not by financial investors. We are commited to the welfare of the employees and managers who have helped you build your company, and the community in which it is located. Unlike strategic buyers, we have no need to layoff “redundant” personnel, remove non-strategic business lines, or consolidate operations to a new location.
• Flexible deal structure. Stoddard Hill works to structure deals that make sense for all parties involved, and takes into account the seller’s tax objectives and financial planning needs.
• Expedient transactions, smooth transitions. Stoddard Hill believes in executing transactions in an efficient, professional manner. Sellers have the opportunity to stay involved at an advisory level with the business, if desired, after the transaction.

We work closely with investment bankers, business brokers, accountants and attorneys to source investment opportunities. When appropriate, we pay finder’s fees based on the Lehman formula or other negotiated arrangements.
