Building your business was hard; getting out of it on your terms can be even harder. For nearly a decade, TobinLeff has been helping business owners plan for, create, and implement unique exit strategy business plans to monetize their life’s work. With over 150 successful engagements across the U.S., we assist throughout the mergers and acquisitions process, looking toward your future sale to outside buyers or internal staff, focusing on the following industries: marketing/advertising/PR/
None of this is easy, but often the most efficient way for you to monetize your business is to sell to an outside buyer or private equity group. If your company is ready, we know how to find qualified buyers, make a market, and negotiate on your behalf. And if it would make more sense for you to grow a little bigger first, we can help you build company value through strategic acquisitions and planning.
How will you monetize your interests: sell to an outside buyer, partner with a private equity group, sell to employees via a management buy-out, form an ESOP, retain control and institute incentives for others to run the company? How do you structure a deal to assure that you get paid? What are the financing options? What's your company worth today for different types of buyers, and what could it be worth later? We'll help you answer these deceptively complex exit strategy questions.
Whether high level strategic planning – like trying to figure out if an acquisition makes sense, or more tactical consulting – such as designing compensation plans to attract and retain the best employees, we’re always working backwards from the ultimate goal of optimizing how you monetize your business. This makes us different and makes your results very specific.
