At Sunbelt-Charlottesville we have a Mergers & Acquisition department and a process for preparing and marketing those mid-market companies for acquisition by strategic buyers. Businesses that meet some or all of the following criteria are usually considered qualified for an M&A transaction:

·         Business has earnings greater than $3 million.

·         Business is potentially attractive to Private Equity Groups.

·         Business is too large for an individual buyer to purchase or finance through conventional methods.

·         Business is in an industry where buyers want to consolidate the marketplace and will purchase even small businesses.
