Adventum Group is a full-service Merger and Acquisition (M&A) transaction and advisory firm with a time-proven, two-phased approach to providing business intermediary services. Through our innovative Compass M&A Service, we offer a guided approach through the M&A process to help owners realize maximum value for their businesses.

The Compass M&A Service helps to point the way so that you can successfully complete the sale of your business and achieve maximum value in the process. We take the time to understand your business-and your personal and financial goals-and help you understand how your business would be viewed by potential buyer before you make the decision to sell. Equipped with these insights, business owners can then make more informed decisions. The Compass M&A Service consists of the following two phases:

EXIT PLANNING
The first phase of the Compass M&A Service emphasizes value enhancement and the strategic positioning of a company as part of the process of going to market. We look at the business objectively to identify the natural strengths of the company and to help eliminate issues that would otherwise result in a reduction in market value. We will objectively analyze your business and provide you with our estimate of its market value.

DEALMAKING
This phase encompasses the actual process of taking a company to market. Adventum Group's M&A professionals follow a disciplined and proven methodology to guide business owners through a successful sale

We explain how companies are valued, protect the confidence of the transaction process and help business owners find the right buyers so they can command maximum value when they sell their business.

The strength of the Adventum Group begins with our breadth of experience. In addition to being an expert in business transactional services, Adventum Group's managing director also has an entrepreneurial background and a broad range of experience in business management of both private and public companies.

Business owners generally do not have an advisor that helps them plan for an exit or liquidity event. This is the time when a business owner begins to seek out a business intermediary firm. Often that search results in the business owner finding either a Main Street business broker or an investment banking firm. These are two very different types of business intermediary firms. The dilemma for most business owners is that neither the Main Street business broker nor the investment banking firm is the right fit for the sale of their business because one delivers too little value and the other assumes too much. Instead, our Compass M&A Service brings unique value to the business owner by:

1. Allowing you to understand how your business would be viewed from the perspective of a buyer

2. Providing you with the opportunity to make positive adjustments in areas that will impact the value of your business.
