CFO Capital
Partners performs a wide variety of services for
entrepreneurs & investors. The most important of these are
getting the two together. Among the services that we provide
include:
Investment Banking Services. We
provide financial advisory services to corporate clients and
business owners. Those services fall into one of three
categories:
-
capital raising,
-
valuations and fairness
opinions
-
merger & acquisition
advice.
A. Capital Raising -
We approach capital raising from a process perspective. We
conduct due diligence on a client’s business, analyze the client’s
financial and business plan and meet with the executives and
operators of the business. That process sharpens the company’s
financial modeling; financial assumptions and business plan as well
as allows us to understand the strengths, weaknesses and
company-specific issues facing that business. In tandem with the due
diligence process, our institutional sales group and high net worth
sales group develops a list of potential investors for that
business. We use several sources of information to create that
list:
I. Our Knowledge of the
Market - We work with venture capital firms, private
equity firms, family offices, private funds and high net worth
individuals both in the United States and abroad. Since we work with
and communicate regularly with these firms, we have current
information on investment preferences and activities. We know which
firms are active and which are not, which firms invest in various
stages of a company’s development and which firms invest in specific
sectors.
II. Commercial Available
Information on Institutional Investors - We subscribe
to commercially available databases that provide daily and weekly
updates on financing activities in the United States and abroad,
focusing on institutional investors.
III. High Networth
Individuals - We maintain active contacts with, and
lists of, high net worth individuals that invest in various industry
sectors and in various stages of companies. We also have access to
industry lists of such individuals.
IV. Angel Investors
- For early stage companies, we work with angel
investors and angel investor groups to attract funding when other
funding sources are not available. To market
a company to the appropriate groups of investors, we develop an
executive summary and investor power point presentation that is used
to contact investors. Done properly those documents are crisp and
brief, but critically important to the capital raising
process.
B. Valuations and Fairness
Opinions - At the heart of all corporate finance
transactions is the valuation of a business enterprise. We represent
companies, management teams, investors and other persons that need
to have valuations and fairness opinions rendered in connection with
corporate finance transactions.
C. Merger and Acquisition
Advice - A business becoming mature requires exceptional
commitment and hard work from many people - a founder, a group of
entrepreneurs, investors, managers and others. When the company is
ready to be sold, all steps should be taken to maximize the value of
the business. Most successful business owners and entrepreneurs turn
to an investment banking firm to help them receive maximum value and
to locate a quality purchaser of their business. We provide M&A
advice to technology, financial services and real estate concerns.
In order to provide this advice, we have many years of experience
executing transactions in those industry sectors.
