I Am A Deal Closer
My transaction processes are proven to maximize value and build efficiencies into the deal process. The success or failure of this transaction will be directly related to the skill used in determining your company’s value, finding the best buyer, solving complex legal, tax, and accounting problems, and arranging a timely closing.
We Serve The Lower Middle Market
Chapman Associates’ clients typically sell for $10 million to $200 million and have EBITDA with a minimum of $2 million to $20 million. Chapman provides lower middle market companies with the same resources, expertise, and representation that are usually available only to much larger companies. Our clients receive confidential consulting and advisory services throughout the merger or acquisition process.
I Make A Market
Chapman has developed a proprietary database of over 10,000 qualified financial and strategic buyers. Since 1954, Chapman Professionals has worked to create an environment where millions of confidential communications on the sale and acquisition of various middle-market businesses are maintained. More buyers yield more bids and higher prices.
I Make Partnering Easy
Unlike many firms in our industry, I generally do not charge up-front fees. If a company is profitable, marketable, and priced reasonably, I do not charge an upfront fee, retainer, or monthly work fees. While some firms charge $50,000 or more for a “valuation” or “marketing retainer” plus monthly progress payments, I believe M&A professionals should only get paid when they deliver results.
I am so confident of my ability to deliver the results you seek that I work primarily on a contingent fee basis. If I believe we can sell your company, I am prepared to invest my time, money, and resources to make that happen.
