Helping business owners realize their objectives from the sale of a company is a complex process that requires specialized skill, knowledge, judgment and resources. At Talisman Finance senior associates, possessing decades of middle-market M&A experience, are personally involved in every transaction.

Our process starts with a detailed valuation to determine how much a business is worth and identify potential market opportunities. Once this step is complete and a client decides to proceed with a potential sale, we then begin the tactical M&A process to take the client to market globally.

Marketing

We develop comprehensive marketing materials, including an Information Memorandum that conforms to SEC guidelines and a one-page summary called a Précis. We also develop a broad list of target buyers using our extensive contacts and databases of strategic and financial acquirers from around the world.

We begin the process of prospecting and qualifying client-approved potential buyers, and strategizing with the client to determine the most desirable deal structure and terms.

Execution

We help the client evaluate various offers from buyers and represent the client's interest from initiation of negotiations, through due diligence and consummation of a transaction.

Our ever-growing seller portfolio includes businesses throughout North America operating in a range of industries, including Construction & Mining, Manufacturing, Business Services, Transportation, Communications & Utilities, Wholesale and many others.

We are experienced in both domestic and cross-border transactions and regularly source strategic and financial buyers from around the world on behalf of clients.

Representing Buyers

Talisman Finance provides advisory services to help North American and international corporations, private investor groups and others locate and acquire North American private middle-market businesses that match specific acquisition objectives. Using our vast knowledge and resources, we can identify potential targets not currently in the market, allowing buyers to pursue those businesses that most closely match desired objectives
