Front Runner Consulting, LLC is an M&A intermediary for MBO executives and companies seeking capital. About Front Runner Consulting, LLC Front Runner Consulting® started as an executive search business. Client-customers include turnaround and restructuring firms, finance companies providing advisory service, private equity groups, law firms, and investment bankers. Prior to starting Front Runner Consulting, Dave Marx was the number one recruiter within his office for one of the world's largest executive search firms. Business Recruiter Because Front Runner Consulting works with business leaders and consultants who have first hand knowledge of capital needs, we now operate as a "business recruiter" for hundreds of private equity groups and strategic buyers that invest in businesses with annual revenues from $10 million to over $1 billion. These investors realize the value of our contacts for relevant deal flow. This is enhanced with my prior experience as a Series 7 & 63 investment banker. Small-To-Mid Capital Resource For those who have a network of capital resources, perhaps we can still be of value to you. Front Runner Consulting assisted the former CEO of a Cincinnati, OH based Fortune 500 consumer brand company that was looking to raise capital for a business he used to own. Current management was seeking $10 million to recapitalize the business to buyout a non-strategic owner. His challenge was his PE contacts were large-cap firms that "were not going to get out of bed for a $10 million deal." In these instances, because we work with small-to-mid cap buyers, we were a fit for his needs. M&A Intermediary for MBO Executives As a business recruiter, whether we place an executive with a company or a company with an investor, the process is very similar. As such, Front Runner Consulting works with buyers who finance executives looking to run a business but lacking acquisition capital (MBO opportunities). Perhaps you know a senior level executive who is in a career transition and is finding it difficult to identify new employment through traditional channels. What if they changed their focus towards identifying a company they believe they can lead based off of their industry experience, competitive insight, and first hand knowledge of the target company? Front Runner Consulting will match the acquisition executive with buyers who finance such opportunities. This is an excellent way to drive an executive's career path. Retained Search Assignments Front Runner Consulting manages a database of over 10,000 individuals ranging from CEO, CFO, COO and other senior level executives to financial executives with turnaround & restructuring and/or private equity/investment banking experience. If you are seeking "front runner" talent, Front Runner Consulting is highly capable to conduct a retained search on your behalf. From within our own database to our extended network of recruiters and other candidate resources, we welcome the opportunity to assist you in your executive talent needs. JV For Transition Executives For those not exposed to MBO opportunities, we have partnered with an executive recruitment firm who for the last ten years has an executive placement rate of 70%. 2009 results were 88% and 2010 at 73%. Our JV partner presents the following opportunities: Traditional W-2 executive level placements Identify MBO targets based on your industry experience For a nominal retainer fee, our JV partner presents the executive to industry relevant companies at no cost to the employer. With so many companies no longer willing to pay a recruiter's fee, this creates a tremendous way to get introduced to hiring authorities. Our partner will also identify companies in need of capital with the premise of the executive leading the business. At this stage, Front Runner Consulting engages our network of private equity firms and strategic buyers. Front Runner Consulting provides the following services: MBO executives who have identified a company they want to acquire but lacking capital Private equity firms and strategic buyers looking for platform and add-on acquisitions Capital resource for businesses Working with consultants and wealth advisors who have client-customers in need of capital Retained executive recruitment searches JV partnership with executive recruitment firm that has a 70% placement rate Please let me know if Front Runner Consulting can assist you with any of the above options.
