Welcome to Calder Capital, LLC – Your Trusted M&A Advisory Firm
Founded in 2013, Calder Capital, LLC is a leading lower middle-market M&A advisory firm specializing in representing sellers of manufacturing, distribution, construction, and business services companies with an enterprise value ranging from $1 million to $100 million. Unlike traditional M&A firms, business brokers, or investment banks, Calder Capital leverages a comprehensive, tech-driven and marketing intensive approach to maximize results for our clients. Our goal is to create a competitive market for your business sale, ensuring you receive the best possible offers and ultimate fit for the future of your business.
Why Choose Calder Capital Over Traditional M&A Firms or Business Brokers?
Selling a business is far more complex than selling real estate, yet we like the following analogy as it demonstrates how most M&A firms and investment banks still rely on outdated methods. Imagine hiring a real estate agent who skips the MLS, ignores marketing outreach, and only contacts a small circle of past buyers. This narrow approach limits exposure and reduces the likelihood of achieving a top sale price. Unfortunately, this is how many traditional M&A firms and business brokers operate today, using minimal outreach and relying on recycled buyers from past deals.
At Calder, we do things differently. We understand that creating a broad and competitive market is the key to maximizing your business’s value. Instead of restricting your buyer pool, we conduct full-spectrum outreach using our proprietary database of 200,000+ potential buyers. We employ targeted advertising, personalized outreach, and thorough buyer research to attract financial, strategic, and entrepreneurial buyers from a variety of industries and geographies.
Calder’s Differentiated Approach: Maximizing Offers and Sale Price
Unlike typical investment banks or business brokers, Calder Capital has invested heavily in automated communication and follow-up systems. Our tech-enabled marketing ensures that we engage with buyers multiple times, guaranteeing that no lead slips through the cracks. On average, our clients receive 15 competitive offers, often resulting in a sale price that exceeds valuation by 20% or more.
Our transparent, expansive market strategy sets us apart from the rest. While traditional M&A firms limit your exposure because they have not invested in the appropriate infrastructure, we believe in a balanced, robust approach that prioritizes both confidentiality and broad reach. This results in a well-vetted pool of qualified buyers, giving our clients the best opportunity to secure a favorable price, terms and a buyer they feel good about.
