A company’s corporate development team is one of its biggest strategic assets. Corporate development executives in charge of furthering a company’s growth strategy through corporate acquisition and divesture have often successfully partnered with investment bankers to leverage their own resources. With our focus on the middle market, we have successfully helped corporate development executives acquire hidden “jewels” in the middle market. Likewise, when large corporations have decided to divest or spin-off non-core assets, we have assisted corporate development teams either sell those divisions at maximum value or acquire the division themselves through a management buyout.

Periculum has a proven track-record of successfully helping corporate divestiture clients and management teams. We partner with these clients to execute a transaction so they can continue to remain focused on planning and executing the company’s long-term growth strategy.

Corporate Divestitures
Selling a business is a complicated process for which most companies do not have the dedicated resources or personnel. Periculum has successfully helped companies maximize value as they divest or spin-off of non-core businesses or product lines. Our focus on the middle market means that we can be a strategic asset even a deal is too small for Wall Street firms. Our professionals are seasoned with years of experience and know how to negotiate and push buyers to the limit. We will conduct a widespread yet confidential auction for the subsidiary or business to help your corporate development team achieve a premium sale price.

Management Buyouts
Periculum’s principals have a long record of successfully arranging numerous management buyouts. A management buyout is different from a sale because in such cases Periculum is representing the management team in acquiring the subsidiary or division. This often occurs when the seller has decided that a fair price can be agreed upon or when there is another compelling reason to keep the company from falling into hands of the competition.

Periculum represents management teams in the acquisition of divisions, subsidiaries, business units, or product lines. We guide management teams through the acquisition process, negotiate the terms, and help them raise the necessary equity, senior and subordinated debt to finance the transaction.
