A unique and long-term approach to Exit Planning

MCC Partners is the first, and at this point, the only firm to take a comprehensive, long-term approach to exit planning. The MCC Partners process addresses three key areas to ensure smooth and effective execution:

1. Position the business to maximize value

2. Remove the mystery from the process

3. Ensure the seller is personally and financially prepared

At every step, from the initial contemplation of an exit through to the post-exit plan and investment of the sales proceeds, MCC Partners is there with you.

1. Position the Business to Maximize Value

MCC Partners will work with you to candidly evaluate your business from a buyer and investor perspective, identify value enhancement opportunities and draft an implementation schedule. We will concurrently assess the array of exit options available to you (going public, selling to a strategic buyer, selling to your management, etc.), and best position your business for the demands of the most appropriate channel. The MCC Partners steps are:

a. business evaluation from buyer and investor perspective

b. value enhancement implementation

c. exit channel assessment

2. Remove the Mystery from the Process

In many cases, a seller of a business has been fully consumed in running and growing the business and is therefore unfamiliar with the exit process. A business owner will encounter new service providers speaking in a new "transaction" language; such as lawyers, investment bankers, financiers and due diligence teams. MCC Partners removes the mystery from this process by ensuring there is ample time to set an exit strategy that works for you, on a business and personal level. We also introduce you, well in advance, to the players you will be dealing with so you have the opportunity to develop a familiarity with each of them and their roles before you get into the heat of a transaction. In this area the MCC Partners steps include:

a. full explanation of the exit process tailored to your specific situation

b. introduction to key professionals for your approval

c. establish and manage to a timeline that is acceptable to you

3. Ensure the Seller is Personally and Financially Prepared

The most successful exits are those that are properly planned. Those exits that are not planned, that are driven by an external event or forced upon a business by time, often fail or at the very least leave value on the table. Exiting from a business can be very personal and emotional. The MCC Partners process ensures that each decision a seller makes is made in the fullness of time with proper counsel. So, by execution time, the seller is fully confident in the decision and the strategy. In this area the MCC Partners steps include:

a. ensure the decision and the timing is right for the seller

b. define a path that meets the personal objectives of the seller

c. define and implement the estate planning

d. validate the post-transaction personal plan of the seller

e. assess and select investment vehicles for the transaction proceeds

The MCC Partners team is seasoned and experienced in developing and growing businesses, as well as in transactions. Having been there, MCC Partners understands the situation of the business owner. Our unique approach to exit planning reflects this understanding. Each step of the MCC Partners process has been developed to best serve a business owner considering an exit.
