Design Capital: The Right Fit.
Design Capital prides itself in providing superior customer care and
business counsel for clients looking to buy or sell a business.
Businesses spend many years building strong relationships with staff
and clients, and most are on a “first-name” basis. It’s important that the
owner who takes over a business continues the tradition. Our goal is to
make the right fit whether you are buying or selling your business.
Design Capital can help with:
Buying/Financing a business
Contracts/Negotiations
Buyer or seller representation
There are many benefits when working with Design
Capital:
Leadership and Experience
Experience is everything in business. With our extensive knowledge,
buyers and sellers can confidently reach for expert advice with a simple
call to Design Capital.
Getting the right price
Working with a Design Capital expert on pricing can be the most
important asset you have when going through the purchase or sale of a
business. With the open market being the best appraiser, our goal is to
always match the asking price with what the market ultimately sets.
There are many factors that affect price and value. Design Capital uses
its expert methodology and decades of experience to guide clients
through this crucial step of purchasing and selling a practice. We work
very hard to ensure pricing is fair to both buyers and sellers.
Ensuring confidentiality
Design Capital understands the importance of confidentiality. We
routinely obtain this level of agreement from buyers and screen them
prior to releasing sensitive practice information. Design Capital also
holds buyer information in confidence—a safety provision in both the
buyer’s and seller’s best interest.
Selling a business on your own might fuel speculation amongst your
staff and clients, potentially resulting in an unwanted exodus. In addition,
buyers want their confidentiality secured from their current employers
when seeking the purchase of a business.
Making you look good
We know what works and what doesn’t. Through our decades of
experience, we know what it takes to succeed. If you are buying a
business, we can assist in interpreting the data. If you are selling, we
offer the guidance and leadership necessary to see it through to a
successful conclusion.
Fees
We are a small firm. Each project offers different challenges. We have
the ability to adjust our services and thus our fees to fit "YOUR" situation.
Our fees are determined by several factors. For business sales they are
usually based on a percentage of the sales price. For appraisals, we
charge a flat or hourly fee. Consulting is based on an hourly rate or flat
fee.
Business Consulting
Is my business operating at peak efficiency?
Is my data information system providing me all of the information I need
to operate my business? If not what are my options?
How can I "GROW" my business?
Do you have a "SUCCESSION" Plan in place?
Do I qualify for government backed financing such as SBA or B&I
programs?
Can State programs such as "EIP" or "EDGE FUNDS" be used to help
my business?
Are there any Local, Regional or State Revolving Loan Funds (RLF) that
might be available to me?
If you ever consider questions such as these, we have the "ANSWERS".
The industry is ever-changing and we are "up-to-speed" on current
business issues and options. Design Capital has been employed on
many issues surrounding valuations, sales and other business-related
matters. Our decades of connecting buyers and sellers can help you on
the right path.
Transaction Advisory Services
The Design Capital Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) practice helps
clients maximize value and minimize risk during the acquisition process.
We offer comprehensive due diligence advice and support in evaluating
the risk/return considerations of the deal.
Combining financial accounting, tax, valuation and SEC regulatory
expertise with deep industry experience, our TAS advisors provide and
manage a complete range of merger integration and acquisition
services. Whether representing the buyer, seller or lender, TAS delivers
the full hands-on support clients expect throughout the deal continuum.
