GulfStar Approach

Our clients call on us to provide market knowledge and expertise as they make key decisions about the future of their companies. For a business owner, these decisions will be rare in the life of their organizations. At GulfStar transactions are our business and we bring the full range of our market knowledge, transaction expertise and strategic advice to assist our clients achieve their financial objectives.

We measure the success of our process by the results it produces for clients. Our transaction process regularly produces several attractive initial offers, and most of our clients close a deal at or above the upper end of the valuation range we developed at the outset. 

GulfStar’s process

• Examines our client’s business from the perspective of a buyer or investor
• Results in a descriptive memorandum that tells the Company’s story: the skill of its management team, the competitive advantages they have developed and the strategy they plan to execute
• Generates competition among a large group of qualified buyers, both strategic and financial (private equity)
• Introduces our client’s management team in face-to-face meetings only to the handful of buyers who place the highest value on the company and
• Results in an efficiently closed deal at a premium price 

For every client, we execute our process in three discrete phases:

Getting the Company ready

Marketing the Company

Negotiating and closing the deal
