Mergers & Acquisitions

Acquisition of a Business

The acquisition of a business or product line can be an effective strategy for the growth of a company. We have extensive experience with acquisitions for growth and will guide your company through a successful transaction. From establishing a well-defined acquisition strategy, to identifying strategic targets, arranging financing and negotiating and closing a transaction, we will drive this process to a successful completion.

Sale of Your Business

Selling your business can be one of the most important milestone of your life. We have many clients who have spent their lives building their businesses — often assisted with capitalization and acquisitions by Trail Blaze Securities LLC — who then turned to us when it was time for an exit. We will guide you and your management team through the entire process, beginning with a full assessment and valuation of your company to establish transaction expectations.

Like capital sourcing, an effective sale process requires a compelling presentation of the company’s business and prospects through a corporate profile for delivery to prospective purchasers. We will work closely with the management team to develop and prepare your company’s comprehensive profile, including historical performance, accomplishments, market opportunities, differentiators, strategies for growth, management team, capitalization, and resulting detailed financial projections.

Our team has extensive experience in identifying both financial and strategic purchasers that should have a keen interest in your company. We will qualify those prospective purchasers, and lead the process through negotiations, due diligence, documentation and closing, all to assure a successful outcome that meets your goals and expectations.

Management Buyouts

Quite often the most capable and appropriate purchaser for your business is the own management team. We will work with you and your team to determine the feasibility of this approach and assist in the development of the most appropriate business and financial strategy to achieve your objectives.

Recapitalization and Cash Out

Restructuring a company’s capital stack is often a sound means to accomplishing the objectives of business owners. Those objectives can include more efficient use of cash flow from the business, adjustment of debt service requirements, access to growth capital, and/or shareholder liquidity. Our process for this purpose is much like the process for private capital sourcing described above, tailored to your specific business objectives.

Capital Sourcing

Raising growth capital through the debt or equity markets is critical to the growth of any emerging or middle-market company. Our team can help your company navigate this often difficult process. We become partners with you, taking on the responsibility of managing and executing each of the critical phases of the process. While we require information and participation from business owners and their management teams, our extensive involvement allows you to stay focused on the operations of your business.


Capital sourcing begins with the compelling presentation of a company’s business and prospects through a well-written corporate profile for delivery to prospective investors. We work closely with the management team to develop and write the company’s comprehensive business plan and profile, including historical performance, accomplishments, market opportunities, differentiators, strategies for growth, management team, capitalization, and resulting detailed financial projections. All of this is developed through information provided by the company and interviews with the management team, and validated through our own company and industry research.


With our extensive experience in raising capital both in public and private markets, we bring the best of public offering techniques to our private market process. We know how to identify venture capital and private equity firms having distinct interest in the business and industries of our client companies, many of which we have worked with in prior transactions. After developing interest among the firms, we arrange in-person meetings for management with those firms as quickly as possible to further that interest and move the process along. We negotiate transactions, manage the due diligence process, and stay on top of the transaction through closing.


Capital sourcing has been the mainstay of our successful business for more than 15 years. We have the knowledge, experience, and relationships to help your business secure the capital needed to support your continued growth.
