About the Company
We strive to help our clients realize their unique definition of success. To achieve this, our team provides a comprehensive service offering aimed at supporting lower middle market business owners at nearly all stages of their company’s lifecycle. Our team has supported over 2,000 clients since 2002 and completed more than 1,150 transactions. This experience, coupled with our history as founders, owners and operators ourselves provides our team with an unparalleled practical knowledge base and real world perspective that is aligned with our clients.
When we provide mergers & acquisitions advisory services, explore capital sourcing and deployment options, evaluate valuation drivers or structure a realistic exit plan, we do so knowing that our clients rely on us to help manage what may be their largest asset and the culmination of years of extraordinary efforts. If our client has an interim leadership need, we approach the assignment as if it were our business, reputation, investment and our future retirement at stake – because ultimately it is.
The value we provide and the quality of our efforts will make or break a successful engagement. In doing so we are not only able to capitalize on each of our management experiences, but we are also able to draw from best practices learned from working with thousands of clients across all industry sectors. As a result our perspective is broad and our resource base is vast. Our full service approach supports the notion that your business is more than just a transaction to you and us, it’s our business too. Your success translates into our success, just as we shoulder the burden of any failure. As a result we consider ourselves to not only be our client’s solutions advisor, but also their partner.

Services Provided
It is our business to help you realize your unique definition of success. To achieve this, Veld Mergers & Acquisitions provides a comprehensive service offering to assist through every stage of an enterprise’s lifecycle. Our team has supported 1,000’s of clients in a diversity of transactions or consulting engagements for almost 20 years. This success, coupled with our history as founders and owner-operators has provided us with a perspective that is very much aligned with our clients.
While maximizing your company’s value is of our primary focus there are additional key elements of a transaction that need to be identified and addressed. While price may appear to be of paramount importance, the deal structure, tax implications, buyer intentions, personality fit as well as your post transaction goals must all be carefully considered. We believe that your business is unique, so we have developed an extraordinarily flexible engagement process that can accommodate clients with varying priorities and transactional requirements.
Where some clients feel other firms may simply ‘list’ their company for sale, or shop it to a large generalized pre-canned buyer pool, we create and deliver a truly custom solution. Each client engagement is tailored to the client’s specific needs and is managed by a managing director. This ensures that we allocate the necessary expertise and devote the attention to your project that it merits without compromise.
At our core we believe that our longevity and success is a trailing indicator of our commitment to our clients. The mutual success we achieve with clients is based on the curation of long-term, deep running relationships with them before, during and after the business sale process.
