Why Metapoint?

Shareholders

Metapoint has been acquiring companies for over 22 years, and this experience has given us a strong understanding of the many diverse reasons businesses are sold. Whether a transaction is driven by retirement, the buyout of a business partner, recapitalization for growth, or some other reason, we take the time to understand the key issues behind the decision to sell and work hard to create a transaction that addresses them. Because we are backed by experienced business people rather than by institutions, a selling shareholder can also have the confidence that his or her company will be responsibly and skillfully handled.

Business owners have decided to sell their companies to Metapoint for some of the following reasons:

Insight and flexibility:We understand the many issues that drive businesses to be sold and work to structure a transaction that reflects these key concerns.

Willingness to accommodate retirement: In cases where a business owner has wanted to retire, Metapoint has been able to accommodate these wishes by recruiting a new CEO or supporting the promotion of a senior manager from within.

Responsibility: Metapoint typically maintains an acquired company's name, independence, location, community involvement and people.

Competitive pricing: We are constantly investing in new businesses opportunities. As a result, we have a good sense for valuations and pay attractive, fair prices for companies.

Equity participation: By selling to Metapoint, owner/executives can obtain liquidity and may retain equity to participate in future growth. Metapoint always provides management the opportunity to have a significant equity stake.

Respectful negotiating partner: We are straightforward negotiators. We will clearly lay out our positions during negotiations, seek to address your concerns, and will follow through on our commitments.

Ability to close: We have made twenty-nine acquisitions in the last seventeen years. Our strong track record and network of relationships with the lending community provide assurance that we will close transactions as negotiated.
