Mergers & Acquisitions
The sale of a business is a time-consuming and complex process.

A successful transaction requires an organized and well-planned process that prioritizes efficiency, minimizes disruptions, and ensures an excellent outcome.
If you’re a corporate acquirer or a private equity-backed portfolio company seeking inorganic growth through proprietary acquisitions, our M&A team will partner with you to develop a plan that can be applied to one-off transactions or long-term buy-and-build engagements. We help our clients execute acquisitions by leveraging our deep transaction, industry, and valuation expertise.
Corporate divestitures differ from the sale of private companies in many ways, and an advisor who understands these differences is best positioned to achieve an excellent outcome for their corporate clients. Some of these differences include positioning carve-out financial statements, negotiating a transition services agreement, and understanding the distinct needs and requirements of corporate versus private shareholders.
While a true 'merger of equals' is rare, a merger in which most of the financial consideration comes through a stock-for-stock exchange can be an effective way to achieve mutual benefits without excessive financial leverage. We excel at advising both parties, helping each side reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
We understand the multifaceted challenges financial sponsors face when navigating transactions in the AEC industry. From limited access to benchmarking data and the absence of industry-standard transaction multiples to cultural intricacies and the need for differentiation, these obstacles demand tailored solutions.
Our approach leverages our extensive proprietary databases for detailed financial analysis and precedent transaction data to ensure fair valuations. We capitalize on our established relationships with key decision-makers for strategic positioning and provide advisory services to facilitate seamless post-merger integration. With EFCG as your trusted partner, financial sponsors can confidently navigate the complexities of AEC transactions, achieving their objectives with precision and efficiency.
