OUR APPROACH – Investment Banking
The principals of BPMB have extensive experience working successfully with middle market business owners in executing:
- sell-side mergers and acquisition processes,
- buy-side acquisition/add-on searches and investigations,
- valuation analysis and fairness opinions, and
- equity or mezzanine capital raising assignments.
Barry Freeman, Managing Partner, has successfully closed over 50 such assignments during the course of his 15 year investment banking career representing over $4.5 billion in cumulative enterprise value in a broad array of industries including healthcare, food/ag, business services, building products, plastics and packaging and consumer products. We are best suited to represent firms seeking at least $10 million in equity capital, or sell-side opportunities involving businesses with at least $4 million in EBITDA.
BPMB prides itself on working “hands-on in the trenches” with our clients to understand their business from the bottom up, develop an in-depth understanding of the critical value drivers, and thoughtfully convey these attributes as well as opportunities for future growth to prospective investors with rigorous analysis and supporting detail. We believe this is the ONLY way to unlock full value in a sale, or fully appreciate risk and opportunity in an acquisition. Unlike many other financial advisory firms, our approach is to actively drive the deal from inception to closing with the highest levels of senior attention at every step along the way. As a result of our style, we pledge to commit ourselves to no more than two advisory engagements at any given time. Your engagement is our highest priority.
We leverage our extensive network of middle market senior lenders, mezzanine providers, financial sponsors and corporate buyers to support our clients and access potential opportunities in the US and internationally.
