MAYFAIR SECURITIES CONSULTS with families from an early stage to assess the best way to achieve their long-term goals, usually working with their other trusted advisors. We are highly sensitive to the emotional and interpersonal issues inherent in the family’s decision to sell its business and to the need for confidentiality. We may suggest an alternative structure to an outright sale, such as a recapitalization or ESOP, to meet the disparate needs of active vs. inactive family members, to maximize after tax proceeds and to incorporate post-closing concerns, such as estate planning and employee retention.

ONCE OUR CLIENT has committed to a transaction structure, we adeptly recast financial statements and prepare an offering memorandum that addresses those issues commonly scrutinized by prospective acquirers, such as legal, environmental and accounting practices. Our experience in the area of corporate turnarounds enables us to maximize proceeds from troubled situations.

WE ARE ABLE to manage the entire process for our clients, giving them the freedom to continue to operate their businesses. Our procedures allow us to avoid disclosure to most employees during the process.
