We measure the success of our process by the outcomes it produces. Routinely, our methods result in attractive initial offers, and clients closing a deal at or above their initial valuation range.
We understand that each company reflects the character and characteristics that its owners bring to it. No two companies are ever alike. Their exit strategy shouldn’t be either. Our core values, character, and unvarnished advice are the foundation of our endeavors. We provide our clients with a managed and balanced process from start to finish that is tailored to their transaction needs.

We measure our success by the results we produce and the satisfaction of our clients.
Investment banking conjures up images of Wall Street hot shots and mammoth blue chip corporations. In reality, mergers & acquisitions play a key role in the growth of mid-sized companies in every industry. Engaging the services of investment bankers can considerably enhance the sale of privately held businesses, providing critical valuation counsel, identifying the best potential buyers, providing a competitive auction and strategizing ideal terms. The benefits of working with firms like outs is measured in both money and time.
A successful outcome begins with a proven process. Our focus is always on how decisions along the way impact the outcome. Below is a top-level overview of the transaction process, giving you a glimpse of what to expect when you decide to sell your business.
Before engaging in a transaction, we take the time to educate our clients about all the alternatives available in today’s market. We conduct extensive company and industry due diligence to understand your company’s strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, economic benefit and finally competitive niche. This includes discussions about your personal and financial objectives as well as range of value expectations. We make sure you have proper expectations and thorough understanding of the entire process before we begin so you can make the best decisions for you and your company.
Kratos examines your company from the perspective of a potential buyer or investor. We work closely with you and your management to develop our detailed, confidential, Offering Memorandum that tells your company’s unique story—the skill of your leadership team, and the competitive advantages you have developed. Valuations don’t sell businesses; the proper forward looking buy-side mindset, including a low risk, scalable business does! We accomplish this critical launch point by proactively researching purchasing behavior in our client’s industry, either through our direct relationships, or through our vast libraries of transactions. Our deal team doesn’t use broad brush strokes. The Kratos deal team builds the market with our client involved and approving our reach out every step of the way.
We know the middle market, and middle-market buyers know us. As a result, we can present your business on a confidential basis to a large group of qualified and interested buyers, both strategic and private equity, and family office’s. We don’t send out mailers, or list your business on a website. That’s just flat out lazy. Our process accomplishes this critical momentous launch point by proactively reaching out to every potential buyer personally. Again, our deal team doesn’t use broad brush strokes. Doing so can and will damage confidentiality. After our client approves their mutually exclusive market build, our deal team develops the proper pitch, rolls up their sleeves, and goes to work. Kratos has a well-documented history of success, where other firms have fallen short. This is the result of experience as well as the proper neoclassical outlook. Everyone talks about the HIGHEST value for their client’s business. Most advisory firms fail to create the optimum economic benefit required to get the highest price – that’s the Kratos advantage!
Once we’ve established the preliminary commercial terms of your deal, we manage as well as help you, your accountants, and attorneys navigate through the due diligence process, contract negotiations, and closing.
