ClearRidge Capital advises US and international corporations, high-net worth individuals, business owners, private equity groups and others interested in targeting and acquiring a North American company with annual revenues between $10 million and $500 million.

You may already have a company you have identified and are looking to acquire and you simply want a professional opinion on price, or assistance in due diligence.  Alternatively, you may want help to develop an acquisition strategy and then to implement that plan.  Whatever your situation, ClearRidge has expert advisors with ideas and suggestions to help you.

There are three typical ways we serve clients:

1) Corporate Development and Acquisitions Team

We work with your CEO and CFO, as well as in your in-house Corporate Development team to identify, screen, target and acquire midsize companies.

2) Acquisition Advice

ClearRidge is engaged to assist in specific parts of the acquisition process, including:

identifying; screening; initiating contact; approaching; qualifying; valuing; appraising; financial modeling; due diligence; deal structure; negotiation; drafting and executing purchase agreements; deal completion; post closing adjustments.

We can also arrange the debt or equity to finance the acquisition.

Our Directors have completed hundreds of acquisitions in almost every industry sector, so a client can direct ClearRidge to assist in a particular task and be confident that we have the expertise to deliver results.

3) Full Acquisition Service

ClearRidge can develop a tailored acquisition strategy for you.

We will consider the strategic fit and profile of companies that you should acquire – industry type; private or publicly held; revenue; earnings; cash flow; inventory; employee count; geographic coverage; management capabilities; integration risks and other parameters.

The result of our full acquisition service is a pool of qualified target companies that match your criteria, many of which are not yet for sale and not talking to other buyers.

We manage the entire process from initial ideas to completing the acquisition.

Not only that, but we also consider a post acquisition plan to integrate the new companies.  Historically, this is the area most often overlooked and most likely to cause an acquisition to fail.

ClearRidge Capital maintains one of the largest and most diverse databases of privately held midsize companies in the US.  We regularly access our relationships with business owners, private equity groups, investors, professional intermediaries, professional service firms, industry associations, and other relevant sources.
