M&A Insights From Our Team to Yours

We’ve done this, too.

Our Managing Directors have founded, led and sold healthcare companies. That’s how we get M&A deals right.

We sweat the details.

We understand the nuances of valuation and combine that with forecasting to set your transaction up for success.

We won’t let up.

A typical sales process takes 6 to 10 months. We negotiate constantly to mitigate your risk and increase value.

We're in it for you.

We’ve seen where deals break down and why. We know the terrain, guide you through it and deliver.

Do I really need an M&A advisor?

Getting the best deal for your healthcare business takes expertise and patience. We’ve got both.

Selling your business is not a DIY project. Unfortunately, we’ve seen what happens when owners try to go it alone, from skipping due diligence to taking the first offer. These mistakes are costly and can even prevent deals from getting done at all. That’s why we pride ourselves in hand-in-glove service, guiding you through valuation, marketing and negotiation, until we close the best possible deal. To make sure we are able to provide you with our full attention and the best possible outcome, we only take on a select number of clients at a time.

We engaged VERTESS to facilitate a re-visioning session as the ANCOR Foundation struggled to set a new direction for our future. VERTESS successfully helped us to sift through some great ideas, identify several obtainable goals and then move forward with the implementation of a very creative plan of action. I highly recommend VERTESS for their expertise in this area.

With over 25 years in business, I felt I needed some CEO level consulting for my company. After extensive research, I felt that VERTESS' years of C-level management experience, entrepreneurship history and psychological training and expertise could be just what I was looking for. Turns out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made in years. I would enthusiastically recommend VERTESS to any executive that wants to solidify or turn around their company.

Vertess Advisors provided intermediary assistance to us when we decided to sell our human service training company, Practical Training Solutions. We were extremely pleased with their professional approach and practical guidance throughout the entire process, which they were able to expedite, exceeding our initial expectations.

I worked closely with VERTESS and we prepared our company for acquisition, negotiated a final agreement, and concluded the sale of our company. They skillfully advised us on several key points and were there for us even after closing the deal. Very professional all around.

VERTESS assisted us through several complex meetings during which we laid out our future growth and diversification strategy. We were so impressed with VERTESS' strong, direct yet friendly style that we asked them back as we contemplated sharing resources with a sister company. By the end of another series of facilitated meetings we concluded that we should merge the two companies entirely. VERTESS helped us through the difficult process of planning the implementation and did it in a very efficient manner. VERTESS is unique in the world of consultants. They not only bring more real world experience than most, they also have real insight into human behavior and their calm yet direct style makes things happen.

VERTESS is that rare business leader with the ability to see problems in multiple dimensions and craft solutions that harness innovation and leverage human talent. In collaborating with them on multiple projects I found VERTESS to be a true strategic visionary, with a gift for communicating goals in ways that empower every individual in the organization. Their constant focus on creating value makes them always open to new ideas and never afraid to embrace change. Small wonder other business executives frequently seek their guidance on ways to energize their companies and navigate challenges. I feel fortunate to have worked with VERTESS and to have witnessed first hand their formidable talent for organizational leadership.
