Mergers & Acquisitions

Business Brokerage Services

First Midwest Advisors provides strategic merger and acquisition advisory services to business owners looking to maximize value through the sale of their company. Our experienced team guides clients through every stage of the sale process, from preparation and market positioning through negotiation and final closing.

We specialize in representing businesses across diverse industries. Our personalized, data-driven approach is focused on achieving an optimal outcome aligned with each client’s specific goals.

A Proven Process for Successful Business Transitions

  • Comprehensive Preparation: We invest upfront time to understand your business, objectives and exit motivations. This allows us to develop a detailed selling strategy and marketing materials that accentuate your company’s strengths and value proposition.
  • Strategic Marketing: Rather than broad advertising, we discreetly identify and reach out to prospective buyers aligned with your company’s profile. Our proprietary buyer database, industry experience and transaction expertise give us access to qualified strategic and financial buyers.
  • Meticulous Negotiation: Structuring and negotiating deal terms is where our M&A advisors truly earn their keep. We leverage our vast transaction experience to expertly navigate this complex process and secure maximum value for sellers.
  • Transaction Management: Once a letter of intent is executed, we manage every aspect through final closing – coordinating due diligence, overseeing legal review, advising on tax implications, and problem-solving any issues that arise.
