Graphic Arts Advisors’ Sell-Side Advisory services combine its unmatched database and personal relationships across the sectors that comprise today’s printing, packaging, mailing, marketing services, brand management, and related graphic communications industries with a disciplined, rigorous, and systematic process.
The Graphic Arts Advisors team works to objectively and confidentially achieve the highest and best possible value for your company.
Graphic Arts Advisors’ sell-side process begins with:
-
The collection of a reasonable level of information about your company.
-
An internal-use value assessment based on industry standards and the unique strengths that add value to your company is prepared.
-
Objective opinion on the value of the business as a “going entity” using accepted criteria and research on industry trends, correlating your expectations with market realities.
Graphic Arts Advisors’ value assessment goes beyond a standard business valuation. We capture the critically important asset of most graphic communication companies that is not on the balance sheet—the strategic value and future earnings potential of the company’s intangible assets (i.e., customers and market presence).
The time spent with you and the members of your staff that you choose to involve forms an important basis for the assessment that goes “beyond the numbers” to reveal underlying trends and their impact on company valuation.
Graphic Arts Advisors will confer with ownership to determine a baseline minimum price and structure that ownership would consider reasonable upon a sale of the company.
Next, we will conduct an online session to review our assessment of the enterprise value of your company as a going entity and an assessment of the value of your intangible assets, as well as a waterfall calculation of likely pre-tax owner proceeds at closing. This stage is important to have a basis for framing offers from prospective buyers and establishing reasonable expectations among the ownership group prior to commencing the sale process.
Next, we will identify prospective buyers through a variety of channels.
-
Our extensive relationships in and knowledge of the industry.
-
Potential buyers and investors within our proprietary industry-specific database.
-
Contacts curated from our ongoing research.
-
Prospects made known to us by you.
-
Research specific to this Engagement to identify additional companies and investors that may have an interest in your company.
Prior to Graphic Arts Advisors' outreach, the list of prospective buyers will be carefully curated for the best potential industry segment, financial profile, and strategic fit with your company.
A senior-level person will be your primary contact throughout all phases of the process. All information you disclose to us is held strictly confidential. Graphic Arts Advisors will always obtain your approval prior to releasing confidential information to prospective buyers.
