Why an advisor?

WHY HIRE A SELL-SIDE ADVISOR

Sell-side advisory

Hiring a professional to sell a company is always the best solution and one that allows an owner to continue running their business as a going concern. Monetizing years of sweat equity and uncovering the highest and best bidders for a company is our main concern. We invest heavily into our M&A process, from industry leading database management software to customized CRM systems and data room management. Our boutique advisory firm acts no different than a leading Investment Bank when selling our clients companies and our years of experience in the lower middle market, both from an operational and transactional standpoint, ensures our clients receive a risk-adjusted, fully tailored service offering.


What separates The Shaughnessy Group from other advisors is our experience not only as M&A advisors, but also as operators, entrepreneurs, and shareholders. We understand what is at stake and we work relentlessly to ensure deals not only close but exceed the expectations of our clients. If we cannot earn praise and referrals from our valued clients, we simply do not engage with them. This is our DNA and unspoken mantra.
