CAPITAL ADVISORY
STRATEGIC ADVISORY
FRG’s core service is advising middle-market companies who seek a proven and confidential sale process. Our bespoke solutions are designed to create deal momentum, identify the right partner for our clients and maximize value. We have sat at both ends of the negotiating table, enabling us to fully understand the needs of founder-led businesses, know what the other side is thinking and deliver on client objectives. FRG advises clients on a full range of liquidity transactions ranging from a minority partnership or a majority recapitalization with a financial sponsor to a full sale to a strategic acquirer.
Where it all started for FRG. We partner with private and public companies in developing a long-term strategic acquisition campaign. Our proven process is effective at generating responses, identifying “off-the-radar” opportunities, and closing accretive acquisitions. Example relationships include advising 18 “add-on” acquisitions for a client before developing an exit strategy and acquiring over $4bn, and counting, of US market share for an international holding company.
FRG has the capability to source and structure a wide range of capital opportunities to best serve businesses in various stages of growth. Expert guidance, fostered relationships and negotiation intends to bring the best sources to the table with favorable terms and unparalleled execution. By advising clients through the capital formation process, we develop long-term relationships that often result in supporting future buy-side transactions or ultimately exits.
We provide clients with strategic solutions to critical issues and opportunities that have the highest impact on shareholder value. Our integrated mix of industry knowledge, Fortune 500 pedigrees and M&A expertise yields differentiated perspectives to emerging technologies, private and public companies, and financial sponsors. We advise shareholders and boards on strategic business planning, commercial partnerships, growth, value creation and exit strategies.

CAPABILITIES
Tailored M&A strategies that drive growth, unlock value and shape the future of your business success.
We leverage our operational experience and industry knowledge to create tailored strategies that work, solving complexities specifically associated with privately-owned companies while exceeding our clients’ expectations. We are hands-on, ensuring every client receives the creativity, experience, and fortitude of having seasoned dealmakers by their side throughout the process.
Our practical expertise and owner's perspective to investment banking is designed to achieve outsized outcomes for our clients. We focus on chemistry, purchase price, and deal structure prioritization and provide an efficient timeline to achieve competitive tensions throughout the process.
AN EXPERIENCED PARTNER TO FACILITATE VALUE CREATION IN THE M&A ARENA
Our methods are the opposite of one-size-fits-all, however, we do follow a sequential framework, the “Sell-Side Eight”, which is rigorously executed and designed to minimize our client’s resources and time. This begins with our deal teams investing significant time in the discovery, strategic planning and marketing material phases of the process to demonstrate a client’s sustainable competitive advantage, specific growth drivers, key differentiators, synergies and profitability profiles to the various buyer groups that will maximize interest. We leverage the “Sell-Side Eight” with a customized deal strategy that together positions clients’ value drivers while prevailing over any diligence obstacles to deliver premium results in any market environment.
We are Driven By Our Commitment to Our Clients and Prioritize Fostering Long-term Partnerships First and Foremost.
We seek to align with clients well in advance of a deal process so we can identify key objectives, develop a transaction strategy, prepare the business and team, cultivate a buyer universe and prime clients for the emotional aspects so we can execute on their success story, when the time is right.
We are passionate in creating opportunities for growth and success while enabling our clients to traverse the M&A process with confidence and clarity. Unlike the vast majority of our peers, many of us have formerly been buyers and/or sellers ourselves.
We truly understand the intricacies involved in the preparation of any sale, the complexities of working with family-owned businesses, and how to structure an efficient process that maximizes value for shareholders while reducing execution risk at every stage of the transaction.
We believe that the true measure of our success is reflected in our clients and the positive impact we create with them both personally and within their organizations.
At FRG, We Don’t Just Witness Growth; We Actively Take Part in it, Echoing the Achievements of our Clients in Every Success Story We Help Write.
