Selling Your Business?

Sell your business to Aleutian or one of our clients

Aleutian's acquisition services division helps clients acquire companies in a broad range of industries and sizes.  Aleutian is also a principal investor (through Aleutian Capital Partners), with strategies that include acquiring companies outright or investing alongside our acquisition services clients.  Through us, sellers can get their companies in front of a number of strong potential acquirers.  Since our buy-side clients pay our fees, business sellers can complete a transaction without paying a broker or banker’s commission.  About 60% of our clients are private equity firms, with the remaining being strategic acquirers.  They are serious and legitimate buyers that have engaged us because they are actively pursuing transactions and value deal flow.

Even though our fees are paid by the acquirer, we spend considerable time assisting business sellers throughout the process.  We identify the information buyers will want to see to evaluate the business, present the acquisition opportunity to our clients, and facilitate the transfer and handling of data, letters of intent, purchase agreements, etc.  Aleutian has the same incentive to complete a transaction as does a sell-side intermediary, so business sellers can count on us to work closely with them to effect a successful sale of their business.

Of course, if your business does not meet the criteria of any of our buyers, you are free to engage a sell-side broker or investment bank to run a traditional process.  Therefore, it makes sense to bring your company to us first, and potentially avoid paying a significant sell-side transaction fee.
