Ownership Type

• Financial Sponsor owned businesses - We have advised some of the most successful and sophisticated financial sponsors. We have had great success providing them significant leverage running tight and effective sale processes, working closely and constructively with the senior management of their portfolio companies and achieving reliable, superior values and terms. 

• Independent businesses owned by entrepreneurs and families - For many independent business owners, selling their business is the most important financial transaction of their lives. We assist independent business owners in structuring processes to maintain confidentiality, presenting their businesses in the optimum way, anticipating key management transition issues and educating our clients about process dynamics so as to minimize risks and achieve the best outcome.

• Divestiture of business units - The sale of a business unit is often time sensitive and strategically important to the earnings and balance sheet liquidity of the parent company. Divestitures also face complex issues such as presenting the divested business on a standalone basis and structuring transition services agreements for post-closing operations. Brookwood has dealt very effectively with these and other issues common to divestitures.

• Small capitalization public companies - Brookwood's Managing Directors have a high level of experience representing public companies and their Boards of Directors.
