COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCES FOR BUSINESS GROWTH & TRANSITION

Merchant Banking: New Business ProjectsWe provide advisory services and investment guidance to new businesses and seek to invest in companies for our own portfolio. Our successful exits have ranged from roughly $2 million to more than $60 million. Our current portfolio includes a healthcare company addressing the aging of the U.S. population, a company addressing people’s desire for simplified music creation, and a specialty manufacturing concern with annual revenues in the $10 million range.

ADVISORY SERVICESWe have acted in a variety of operational and advisory roles, both hands-on and at the board level. These activities are designed to help founders navigate the various planning, financial, and management issues associated with a company’s growth.

OUR PORTFOLIO Given the right timing and circumstances, we seek to add our highest-potential clients to our portfolio, which consists of companies we have helped develop from the concept stage or those in which we have had a close working relationship with the founder(s).

Investment Banking: Transaction-Oriented ProjectsWe provide traditional investment banking services through our wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, 2nd Generation Financial, which is registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). We act as an active participant in arranging and negotiating the transaction, not just as a referral source. 2ndG has been the lead adviser for debt & equity placements ranging from $500,000 to more than $30 million, as well as for mergers and acquisitions of private companies at values ranging from $1 million to $70 million. We have also acted as an advisor in the sale of intellectual property portfolios valued from $12 million to more than $1.35 billion.

DEBT & EQUITY PLACEMENTSOur services include securing financial resources for client firms, including growth capital, acquisition financing, recapitalizations, management buy-outs and debt restructurings.

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS Our principals have successfully served in the role of advisor, negotiator and agent for both buyers and sellers in private-company transactions.

EXIT PLANNINGMonths (or even years) before a business is ready to sell to an external party, our principals work with founders to explore all exit options and develop strategies to position the business to maximize the value realized upon exit.

LITIGATION SUPPORTWe have testified in multiple jurisdictions before state and federal courts, appellate courts, regulatory authorities, and alternative dispute resolution forums.

VALUATION & FAIRNESS2ndG professionals are FINRA-licensed and certified by the NACVA. We have significant experience in transition and investment-related valuations, which include fairness opinions for both public and private companies.

Advisory: Finance-Oriented ProjectsOur members have been founders, venture investors, board members, officers and advisors in a wide range of operating businesses in many industries. These practical, real-life experiences enhance the credibility of our expert services and opinions. We couple this experience “in the trenches” with industry credentials from nationally recognized organizations to provide our clients with constructive, competent service as advisors. We are highly selective with respect to advisory service assignments, tending to focus on opportunities that utilize our knowledge of targeted industries or reinforce long-term relationships.
