A DIFFERENT KIND OF EXIT

Severn is different from most acquisition firms. Why? Primarily because we seek to build upon your legacy, we are using our own capital to fund both the firm's operations and a large portion of the equity required for the investment, and we intend to operate the business full time after closing. Unlike a competitor or a traditional buyout firm, we will not "absorb" your operations, slash costs, plug in a temporary manager, and/or flip your company for a quick profit. Instead, we intend to personally lead and grow the team you built for many years to come. In other words, we are in it for the long run and seek to be a preferred buyer.

Seller Financing

Most of the companies we target have an active owner-operator. In those instances, although we generally pay a very healthy portion of the purchase price up front at closing, we do require all owner operators to carry a material percentage of the purchase price. This ensures long-term financial alignment as we both work hard to appropriately transition the company and set it up for long-term success.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERNS

We appreciate the concerns of successful entrepreneurs. We will work with you on a strictly confidential basis to understand your personal goals and to structure a sale that meets those objectives. Contact us anytime with additional questions.
