WHY CHOOSE US?

At Palomino, we focus on optimizing outcomes for business owners. Our team truly understands the mindset of business-owning entrepreneurs and families. We work hand-in-hand with business owners to help you achieve your unique goals. Here are just a few of the many benefits we bring to the table:

We give thoughtful, honest and realistic advice up front. We strongly believe we can close what we lay out. We never over-promise for the purpose of winning mandates.

We employ a controlled, market clearing approach that creates the best combination or price, terms, and strategic fit

We focus on representing sellers and are under no pressure to favor any particular buyer. Our independence keeps us clear of any potential conflicts of interest.

We take on limited engagements and ensure a senior principal is involved in every step of the transaction from commencement to closing. We use our experience, knowledge and dedication in guiding our clients through the intricacies of the deal process to accomplish their goals.

We are business owners ourselves and understand the implications an owner’s decision has on multiple stakeholders. We give advice as if we own the business, even if our advice may defer a transaction and our compensation.

Our niche focus has proved valuable in assisting our clients on valuation expectations, as well as identifying the most active and aggressive buyers in this sector of the market. We have the expertise and experience necessary to successfully execute deals in a timely manner.

We actively interface with a large universe of potential acquirers and investors, including many leading domestic and foreign acquirers and private equity funds. We carefully monitor trends within industries and can identify buyers with tangential interest in your industry or business model to leave no stone unturned and maximize your business’s value.

We understand the unique nature of private companies and their owners. We recognize that our clients often care as much about the impact of a deal on their company culture, their employees and their community as they care about the purchase price. We listen to our clients and find buyers who will accommodate the breadth of their economic and non-economic goals.

Our leaders have 35+ years of combined experience leading and executing mergers and acquisitions with global investment banks and consulting firms. What sets us apart is our distinct ability to understand the key soft issues in a transaction. Our insights mitigate inherent transaction risks, safeguard your business and provide you with peace of mind.
