Current Acquisition Searches
Every indication is that 2007 will be another robust year for private equity investing in the middle-market. The ever growing cast of PE firms with ample war chests, coupled with an amenable debt market, ensures another strong year of M&A activity. “Frothy” seems to be the word of choice of PE executives to describe the present hypercompetitive environment. However, to the middle-market company owner, one man’s froth is another man’s gold. Now is the time for companies to investigate partnering with or selling to private equity investors.
In the column to the right are links to brief descriptions of some present acquisition searches, divided into searches for new portfolio/platform companies and searches for strategic add-on companies for existing portfolio/platform companies. We suggest that investment bankers, business brokers, and other representatives of companies for sale or seeking investment be added to our email distribution list, which periodically receive updates of the most current searches under way. Please contact Matt Lerner at mlerner@nas1.com to be added or if you are representing or have knowledge of a company that you feel may be a potential fit. |
