A company that has thousands of school districts across dozens of states in the country. The owner had built up a very successful company and wanted to see their programs go out nationwide. They sought our help to find the right buyers. We had a large number of interested buyers. We received 2 Letter of Intents (LOIs) from strategic buyers in the industry and 3 LOIs from private equity groups, and a couple of other LOI’s from wealthy individuals. With all of this activity, the buyers increased their initial offer. The winning buyer was an educational business that is owned by a $Billion private equity firm. They were able to pay a high multiple of 7X net income based on the fact that they could leverage the programs the seller had to increase the revenue and profit at a more rapid pace than they were already on. Our bidding process was able to move the deal along quickly. The sales process took about 5 months from start to finish. And the seller was very comfortable with the buyer’s expertise. They had acquired several other educational consulting companies and were able to successfully integrate the new companies.

This management consulting provided high-level executive coaching and professional development for successful executives. Their services included workshops, one-on-one coaching, leadership seminars, strategic planning, and more. Their clients include thousands of executives in Tech, Media, Finance, and Healthcare. The company’s headquarters are in the Chicago, Illinois area, but the owner relocated to Australia. So we had Zoom conferences with prospective buyers and the seller. We had a number of interested buyers. However, the only full-price offer came from an individual buyer within the Chicago area that had a background in IT, Healthcare, and finance. He purchased the business with only a 10% down payment, and the balance was funded through bank financing. The deal was completed in less than 5 months from the time the buyer first inquired about the business.
