Over the next ten years an unprecedented number of businesses between $5M and $100M will be sold as the baby boomer business owner sells to provide owner liquidity for retirement. It is estimated that 350,000 businesses of that size will be sold in the year 2005 alone.  (See Publications -  "Baby Boomer Business Transition Bubble" )

Most private businesses are run to provide a comfortable lifestyle for the owners and jobs for loyal employees. They are not run to generate the maximum value in a sale, however most of the wealth of the business owner is contained in the company.

The Mead Group has developed processes that get a company ready to sell at maximum value in a rapid manner.

Unlocking Maximum Value

• Estimating Current Business Value

• Improving Customer Profitability

• Enhancing Revenue Growth

• Evaluating and Improving Management

• Resolving Potential Due Diligence Issues

This approach generated as much as $17M in increased selling price for a $50M revenue company in 15 months.

Investment Banking firms routinely recommend The Mead Group to clients and prospects that want to increase value before selling the company.
