The Sales Process

MARKETPLACE PRINCIPLES

Different buyers will offer to pay very different prices for the same business. The strategic buyer with the most opportunity will be in a position to pay the highest price. That acquirer will never offer all that a business is worth as long as it can buy the business for less.

THE TOUCHSTONE SOLUTION
  • Identify the strategic opportunities available to others.
  • Identify potential buyers that would benefit from those opportunities.
  • Market the business without a price to acquirers, private equity groups, individuals, and others.
  • Place acquirers in competition with one another.

Closed Transactions

Testimonials

Touchstone is an organization based on results, not just good intentions, and we could not be happier with the result. Their process placed several strategic acquirers in competition with one another to achieve a result that exceeded our expectations.

In the end, we would recommend Touchstone Advisors to any business owner looking to market their company while working with professionals who truly care about their clients

As one of the chief members of the buying group, I want to commend Jeff Rich and Roy Johnson of Touchstone Advisors for their professionalism, courtesy, and fairness throughout a lengthy and dynamic evaluation, due diligence and closing process. Trinity is delighted to have Campion Ambulance as part of its New England health care operation, and we appreciate the way in which Touchstone managed this transaction from their end.
