DOES HIRING ADVISORS MATTER TO SELLERS OR BUYERS?
In almost every circumstance, yes. A Harvard study shows that advisors create price premiums of 27% to 37% for sellers of private companies.
NorthView offers companies a unique value proposition by providing them with independent advice that is backed by our long-lasting relationships with strategic partners and our deep understanding of the complexities that arise during these transactions.
Whether clients are emerging or established, public or private, we approach each mandate in a professional and collaborative manner, resulting in the most beneficial outcome available.
DOES HIRING COMPANY SALE ADVISORS MATTER TO SELLERS OR BUYERS?
In almost every circumstance, yes. A Harvard study shows that company sale advisors create price premiums of 27% to 37% for sellers of private companies.
An article in the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation reviews a draft paper written by Finance professors at The Universities of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana Tech analyzing the question “Does hiring company sale advisors matter for private sellers?”. Their findings are summarized in the Harvard article and conclude that “On average, private sellers receive significantly higher valuations when they retain company sale advisors”.
The authors reviewed 4,468 acquisitions of private companies during the period 1980-2010. Using multiple analytical methods they found that sellers of private companies received sale price premiums that, on average, were 27% to 37% greater than transactions for private sellers who did not use an company sale adviser.
The authors propose multiple reasons for premium sales prices when using company sale advisors. These benefits of working with an experienced company sale advisor like NorthView result in:
- Reduced conflicting exchanges of information or communication
- Diligence gathering and analysis
- Increasing bargaining power in a transaction
- Specialized skills in valuation, finding potential acquirers or sellers, negotiations, and closing process
STRATEGIC POSITIONING AND GENERAL CORPORATE ADVISORY
We have proven our ability to add significant value as both an advisor and participant in unique situations.
GENERAL CORPORATE ADVISORY WORK CAN INCLUDE:
- Restructuring and Bankruptcy Advisory and Oversight
- Operational Advisory
- Strategic and Financial Advisory
- Joint Venture Structuring
- Recapitalization Advisory
- Going Public / Going Private Transactions
- Interm CRO / CEO Responsibilities

NorthView is often employed by a company’s executive team, shareholders, and/or stakeholders to oversee restructuring, both operational and financial, in specialized situations, many of which are distressed. Some of our clients are going through formal bankruptcy processes, while others need to be refocused or corporately restructured to allow for new or continued growth.
The NorthView team delivered everything we could have asked for. Despite a nearly impossible situation for a newly founded, 2-year-old trading company, in a global economy and financial markets crippled by the pandemic, these guys got it done. It was a tall task given all of the macro-, micro-, and to some degree, the company-specific variables, but NorthView got us the deal we needed when we needed it and we couldn’t be happier.
Conexus Metals LLC
I want to thank [NorthView] so much for your efforts in closing our deal so quickly. You treated our company as if it was yours until we signed the final documents. We could not have done it without you. You went to bat for us many times, always looking out for our best interest, and I really want to thank you for that. I recommend [NorthView] to anyone struggling as a small business to find the right banking or investment partner.
Fidelity Fuels and Specialty Products
[NorthView] always had my best interests in mind and their ability to manage the transaction, particularly during COVID-19, was instrumental to our success.
I would highly recommend that anyone looking to sell their business, engage with Northview – you’ll get a transparent, capable, and honest partner if you do.
Regal Software
We launched our re-fi process coincidentally at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Morcon team interviewed a number of investment banking firms and Northview, namely JT Schroeder, stood out very quickly above the rest. Northview led and managed the process, including communicating with all parties involved. JT did a masterful job. In the end, we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and I highly recommend Northview/JT Schroeder as an investment banking partner.
Morcon, Inc.
Their expertise in running a formal process on our behalf, negotiating the nuances of a transaction, and overall hands-on, professional approach were invaluable to our success.
Atlanta Electrical Distributors, LLC
There's never a better recommendation than repeat business, and in fact, we re-engaged with them to assist us with other financial initiatives and they were equally impressive and helpful.
Eagle Pipe LLC
They were very much hands on throughout the entire process and were instrumental in assisting to get the transaction closed.
Huntington Business Credit
The Northview team did everything they promised from day one. Through every step of this process, JT and Northview went well above and beyond what we were looking for in an advisor; we could not have asked for a better partner in this process.
From our initial introduction to the company to the closing of the credit facility, both JT and Paul remained actively engaged. Everyone benefited from their experience.
Not only did they get us a more efficient and cheaper facility with better advance rates, but they also helped manage the process all the way through closing and beyond, which allowed our team to focus on our business as opposed to the financing.
