Buy Side Searches

VR Bentonville offers buy side representation for individuals, families, corporations, private equity and/or private investment groups looking to acquire clearly defined business models. The benefits of retaining a professional intermediary for proactive deal searches far outweigh the time and financial costs in the long run.

• In our experience, potential sellers are far more likely to engage in a discussion about selling with an intermediary rather than a competitor who may have ulterior motives.
• When the seller knows that the acquiring entity has retained professional representation to seek out acquisition opportunities the buyer gains immediate credibility.
• Individuals or entities seeking more than one acquisition get proprietary deal flow allowing them to have “first look” at opportunities that may otherwise never appear in the open marketplace.
• Acquirers are more likely to get better prices through a proactive search for two main reasons: a) the seller will not “bump the price” to cover a broker’s commission b) the seller is unlikely to hire professional representation to negotiate the price/terms and in our experience that generally leads to lower cost of acquisition.
