Avance will help you develop and execute a complete strategic acquisition plan that is focused on achieving growth and increasing value. Our Buy-Side focus is to find companies that have not come to market - companies you will typically not find listed for sale. We identify and deliver multiple, strategic targets - businesses that are viable and profitable. We assist you during the entire transaction and shield you from the risks of a competitive auction. We develop financial scenarios to illustrate which deals meet/exceed your hurdle rate.
