Taylor Companies is the privately held global investment bank specializing in consistently delivering optimal results in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and synergy consulting, while maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality.
During the 30+ years that Taylor Companies has been selling businesses, we have worked in more than 200 distinct industry segments. As a result of its highly unique divestiture process, Taylor Companies obtains the highest possible premiums for the businesses it sells and conducts the sale process with utmost confidentiality. Statistically Taylor averages divestiture clients getting 65% more than private equity pays for the same types of businesses, during the same time frames. We have learned that while a client’s business does have a base value, the business’s worth to each potential buyer varies according to the each buyer’s achievable synergies, which are different for each buyer. Therefore we have created a process that focuses on identifying and including the very most synergistic buyers for the business being sold. Drawing upon our deep and comprehensive understanding of synergy, Taylor thoroughly analyzes the client’s business to determine the most synergistic categories of buyers, those that because they have greatest synergies on the transaction, will be able to afford to pay the highest prices. In tandem with a network of more than 800 Industry Experts, Taylor’s in-house Competitive Intelligence group identifies the specific buyers within each most synergistic category and then discretely surveys each potential buyer to verify that it is:
· Interested now in acquiring a business like the one being sold · Desirous of obtaining the kinds synergies our client’s business will bring them · Able and willing to pay a price high enough achieve our client’s price objectives · Willing to proceed in a way that maintains our client’s confidentiality
***Note that the surveying is done in such a way that identity of the business being sold cannot possibly be determined.
This means that only the most synergistic and seriously interested potential buyers are ever allowed to know that our client’s business is for sale. Drawing from Taylor’s global network of more than 1200 Senior Corporate Advisors (retired CEOs, and former ambassadors, politicians, and high-ranking military officers) a confidant of each prospective buyer’s ultimate key decision maker is chosen to tell his friend about the deal. This way of taking the deal in at the top of the buyer’s decision-making hierarchy maximizes confidentiality and gains the most serious possible consideration for our client’s business. Throughout the remainder of the sale process, Taylor deepens its understanding of the deal synergies so that by second round of bids, we and our client know how much each buyer’s synergies are and how much they can afford to pay and not over pay for the deal. During the concluding stage of the process Taylor works with each buyer to maximize the price they are willing to pay, and as a result our client receives the highest possible premium for his/her business.
