Unlocking value in fragmented service industries

“We are grateful for the expertise and professionalism that FOCUS brought to this transaction. This is the second transaction FOCUS has completed for us, which demonstrates the confidence we have in their process and in their firm.”

“The FOCUS team, led by Doug Rodgers and Rick Thomas, were true partners throughout the process. They understood the implications of our transaction from an operational, financial and human perspective and could relate to the issues which impacted our business. They were in the trenches with us every step of the way and helped us find workable solutions to the many obstacles that had to be overcome. I highly recommend the FOCUS team.”

“The strategic fit provided by this transaction is exceptional; our acquirer counts nearly every airline in the world in its customer base, which provides an exciting growth path for AirVault. The FOCUS team has been a valuable partner to us over the years, and we would not be celebrating this transaction without their help and guidance.”

It was a pleasure working with Bob, April and the FOCUS team on Helpmates.  All are very knowledgeable, professional and experienced and it showed with this transaction.

“FOCUS played a critical role in the process. Their expertise, commitment and professionalism is truly unparalleled. We appreciate their assistance in making the transaction with SIB Fixed Cost Reduction possible.”

The FOCUS team was honest and transparent right from the beginning. The process was thorough and well planned out – we moved from LOI to close in 60 days! I would highly recommend FOCUS Investment Banking for any transactions in the sectors they service.

I wanted to express my appreciation for the professional work that FOCUS Investment Banking performed for my company over two plus years. The number of hours, the total communication and rapid response time to questions regarding the buyout was phenomenal. I highly recommend FOCUS for any company that is preparing to sell a business.

“I hired FOCUS’ MSP Team on May 28, 2020. In the first 24 hours after signing the engagement letter, Abraham presented me with three (3) preemptive offers & introduced me via Teams to four (4) of the top MSP investors in the country. Forty days later I signed an LOI with Rosewood Private Investments (RPI) and we closed the transaction on October 28. We plan to work with FOCUS in 2021 to find bolt-on opportunities for the Platform. I recommend FOCUS’ MSP Team and will serve as a reference.”

I could not have chosen a better partner than Abraham and his team at FOCUS Investment Banking. In all my years in business I have never experienced this uniquely powerful combination of customer centric focus, deep industry and financial knowledge, availability, integrity, likeability, and selflessness. With them negotiating the deal I was able to get a price almost (redacted)% higher than I thought likely, and with a buyer who is a great cultural fit.

“FOCUS ran a thorough and detailed process which brought us multiple offers and they were able to find the best partner for us in Justin Christian and BCforward.”

“FOCUS helped us to stay true to our objectives amidst all the noise that happens in the negotiating stage. Their relationship-driven approach helped get us to the finish line.”
