In early 2023, we engaged Benchmark International to explore strategic alternatives for our boutique professional search firm. Benchmark's dynamic team collaborated to introduce us to multiple potential buyers interested in our firm, which led to three offers after a year of interviews and meetings. Ultimately, we selected the fair and best-fit offer to provide a platform/company to take care of, invest in employees, and scale the firm we had built over 21 years in practice. Benchmark International's team was always professional and accessible during the journey, and we learned a lot along the way, resulting in a successful closing for our firm in September of 2024. Even though the Benchmark International team dedicated to our case was earlier in their careers than we were, they were always professional, knowledgeable, and accessible. They did an amazing job facilitating our sales process, including challenging discussions and sensitive negotiations. Specifically, the expertise and relationship developed with Nick Woodyard as we entered into serious discussions with potential buyers through the sale's closing was quite helpful, and we would highly recommend Nick along with Benchmark's marketing team led by Joe Margle. Without our engagement with Benchmark International and their highly professional team, we would not have encountered any of the finalists for our company sale. We highly recommend Benchmark International to any business owner interested in considering strategic alternatives for their firm.

Benchmark was instrumental in introducing me to SSA, a quality organization that I can entrust to carry on the legacy of best-in-class service we at CEPro have worked so hard to achieve. They understood that one of my highest priorities in finding a buyer for CEPro, or even a part of CEPro, was to find an organization that shared our level of passion and integrity as it pertains to serving our clients and our staff. It was an honor to work with Benchmark through this transition; their professionalism and expertise ensured that the transaction was quick and efficient.

Everything that has been committed to has been delivered, now that’s unusual in today’s day and age. The team at Benchmark were fantastic at helping us to focus on that and putting us in touch with the right people. I’d advise any of my mates, of which a lot of them are in business in their own right, if they were interested in selling to consider using Benchmark’s services.

I’m very pleased that I selected Benchmark International to facilitate the sale of my businesses. From the initial contact, through to closing the deal, the team were very thorough in collecting all of the data and information needed so that the business could be marketed professionally and with confidence. Regular feedback was provided on all aspects of the sale. A key aspect for me was to maintain confidentiality about the sale and this was achieved completely.

The Impact Of Interest Rate Reductions On M&A Transactions

The Federal Reserve recently reduced interest rates by 50 basis points (4.75%-5.00%), the first rate reduction in over four years. This swing in policy change and significant first reduction is a major statement, with further cuts likely to occur in the foreseeable future. For the M&A market, this news brings opportunities for sellers, with lower borrowing costs leading to more favorable terms and an overall smoother process.

Essential Questions to Ask Potential Buyers During the M&A Process

When navigating the M&A process, it is crucial for sellers to thoroughly assess potential buyers early on to ensure a good fit. After buyers review your Confidential Information Memorandum, they will naturally ask for a call with you to learn more. Here is a list of essential questions to ask every prospective acquirer:

Understanding Earnings: Profit, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Maintainable Earnings?

Your deal team will discuss and present your company’s earnings to potential buyers, beginning with the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), and subsequently in a more detailed analysis as the process progresses.
