Seller Representation: Selling a business is generally the most important and difficult
decision an owner makes. Managing the transaction responsibly requires extensive marketing of
the seller's company, protecting to the maximum extent possible its confidentiality, and coordinating
resolution of various technical accounting, tax and legal issues. To assist the seller in effectively
executing this transaction, Capital Resource Partners prepares a comprehensive confidential offering
memorandum, determines the company's value, identifies potential buyers through our proprietary data
base and knowledge of industry executives, negotiates price and terms, evaluates offers and helps
close the deal.
Buyer Representation: Creating synergy through acquisitions requires skill. Waiting for a Seller
to call that meets the Buyer’s criteria seldom happens. Capital Resource Partners conducts industry wide
searches for companies that match the Buyer’s target criteria. Managing the transaction
entails thoroughly understanding the buyer's needs, developing quality leads, effectively structuring
and negotiating a purchase agreement. It also requires attending to the details that keep buyers and
sellers together through the rigors of the negotiating process. Capital Resource Partners identifies
target companies, determines the appropriate valuation methodology, considers alternative financing
structures, completes comprehensive due diligence and manages industry-specific issues in the purchase
agreement.
Executive Buyout Support (EBO): The EBO program is a concept conceived and developed by Capital
Resource Partners, Inc. as a method of supporting a trucking and logistics industry experienced executive in finding
and financing their own company. Two common methodologies include an outright sale to the executive or
with a three to five year option arrangement. The EBO program is effective in enabling companies to
obtain successful operating executives who can impact performance. It allows owners to sell their companies
at a fair market value and allows motivated trucking and logistics executives the opportunity for company ownership.
Acquisition Due Diligence: Capital Resource Partners' principals integrate their comprehensive
knowledge of the trucking and logistics industry and lessons learned from buying, managing and selling their own trucking
companies. It is important to identify areas of synergy where technology, operating process, freight network
and infrastructure can be complimentary. Capital Resource Partners can help buyers and sellers establish
acquisition criteria, identify target companies, analyze potential synergy, support transaction structuring,
negotiate advantageous deals, manage the human issues and find acquisition capital.
