Closing transactions in today’s competitive environment can present significant challenges. The process can be time consuming and expensive with a successful closing never assured. We can help our Executive Partners with acquisition structuring, financing and execution, as well as evaluating other deal specific strategic issues. For these reasons, we believe that a well structured relationship can enhance your chances of success at completing a successful transaction. There are several situations where the EPP can be effective:

  • Pursuing a specific target identified by the Executive Partner

  • Evaluating an industry of mutual interest to identify attractive investment opportunities

  • Assisting FSC in its evaluation of a previously identified opportunity or industry

  • Supporting existing management of a FSC portfolio company through consulting or board participation

Benefits to the Executive Partner include:

  • Increased credibility with sellers and intermediaries

  • Access to equity capital

  • Assistance in investigating, structuring and executing transactions

  • Analytical and modeling support

  • Appropriate cost and risk sharing for out of pocket expenses

  • Success based fees and equity participation

  • Post closing involvement in management or board of directors
