Mergers & Acquisitions

(>$10mm Valuations)

Viking helps both buyers and sellers navigate the complexities of creating value and controlling risk in the mergers and acquisition process.

We do this in all phases of the deal lifecycle and in all types of deal structures including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures. If you are interested in retaining some of your ownership or selling a business in the $10MM+ range, we can help.

M&A Services.

Businesses valued at over $10 million can garner interest from additional buyer pools – most notably, private equity firms and strategic buyers. By contrast, businesses valued at under $10 million tend to be acquired by individual or financial buyers. Below is some additional information about our M&A services:

  • We have experience selling businesses valued at $10mm+. Viking has sold over 700 businesses in the last 25 years.
  • We have experience working with Private Equity firms and Strategic Buyers. Businesses with selling prices of $10mm and above typically can attract interest from private equity firms, strategic buyers and other, similar entities—and we have experience selling to these types of firms and packaging businesses in a way that entices offers.
  • We can structure minority ownership deals. Many times in a business of this value, the seller wants to retain some sort of minority ownership—or the buyer wants the seller to stay involved in the business for a specific period of time, or even indefinitely. In a situation like this, we’ll work with the buyer to negotiate a deal that gets you the cash you need while allowing you to stay involved at a level that makes sense.

Relationships Are Everything

Unlike other firms, we stay with our sellers every step of the process, providing regular updates on what’s happening and being available to answer any questions or address any concerns that arise during the process – even after an offer is accepted, right through due diligence and closing. Staying involved not only keeps you informed, but it also leads to on-time closings.

Our firm deals with business brokers a lot. The service, attention to detail and responsiveness we received from Larry Lawson and Viking Mergers & Acquisitions on our most recent acquisition was first rate.
