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.

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 helped us successfully deal with several complex issues during the process of negotiation while keeping our focus on the goals we had for the transaction. We were extremely pleased with their support and would highly recommend them to other business owners.

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' professional acumen is without question, and their vita suggests a shrewd and thoughtful approach to a company’s management, development, and supervision. Decades of experience—coupled with a genuine humanistic approach to business, employees, and clients—made VERTESS the perfect fit to assist in our retooling of current practices. They are sensitive to diverse management styles and personalities, and attempt to guide those they consult using an introspective approach. Both my partner and I use VERTESS' guidance as a personal roadmap for consideration as we decide approaches that best suit our respective styles. SEEK Arizona has gained much in our few months of working with VERTESS as they quickly and effectively targeted areas to improve upon and provided a framework in which to do so. We look forward to maintaining a professional and personal relationship with VERTESS, and would not hesitate to utilize their services as future needs arise. In addition, I enthusiastically recommend VERTESS to any individuals or companies needing an experienced, active consultant to analyze current needs and future opportunities for growth.

We consulted with VERTESS to assist us with a complex merger with another nonprofit. Since the merger we have continued to use their services in implementing the merger and integrating our operations. VERTESS has great skills and insights that have provided tremendous benefit and I highly recommend them.

I have known the VERTESS team and worked with them in different capacities over the past 30 years. Most recently, they represented our company in a successful asset sale. They were very professional and respected all of our concerns along the way. Although selling a business is difficult, they made it much easier for all of us. Going forward VERTESS is going to set the standard for healthcare mergers and acquisitions.

VERTESS is a creative thinker, thorough and reliable, and a force for change. Their breadth of experience in health care management, particularly in the areas of behavioral health, developmental disabilities and systems change, including building consensus, makes them a unique resource who I do not hesitate to recommend to my clients for outside consulting.

VERTESS acted as a trouble shooter and temporary manager with extreme confidence and vision. They came into an organization that needed to rebuild and redesign for success. VERTESS laid a business foundation that has allowed me, as the new Director, to move swiftly into a trajectory of success. They are very skilled at making difficult decisions without the emotional over lay that can get in the way of positive solutions. VERTESS inspired a sense of confidence and self-reliance from all constituents that were involved in the program. They continued as a coach and consultant to keep us on target and moving forward. I highly recommend them as an executive coach and organizational consultant. They cut through weeds and let a 1000 flowers bloom.
