With the expertise of S&P Capital, sellers will maximize the value of their company in a sale to prospective buyers. Through past transactions, we have developed the tools necessary to uncover the components that increase a company's marketability or their "value drivers"�. Each company has its own unique story and appeal - it is our job to convey that to prospective buyers. While value drivers are different for each of our clients, there are some that can be consistently found in most companies. They include but are not limited to:

• Financial Performance
  • Historical sales growth
  • Strong gross margin
  • Consistent cash flow
  • Future sales opportunities or trends


• Human Capital
  • Management team experience and expertise (particularly important in a recapitalization scenario)
  • Key employee strengths
  • Low employee turnover
