CASE STUDIES
M&A Advisory Business Broker
Charlotte Capital was retained as the exclusive mergers & acquisitions (M&A) advisor by a family business headquartered in Lake Norman / Mooresville, NC with a unique business services and consumer products business model. The company had considered other business brokers but did not like their approaches and high fees for simply listing a business on a website. The company needed a customized approach and smart marketing. The company was discretely marketed nationally and internationally to highly qualified strategic and private equity buyers. The result was a large private equity owned strategic acquirer buying 100% of the business in an all cash deal to allow for owner retirement while retaining employees to propel the business to higher growth.
