Strategic Alternatives Evaluations
The best pathways and viable strategic alternatives available for companies in growth mode or undergoing transition are not always clear. Additional options need to be created, explored and distilled into concrete strategies that can be executed with confidence. Carl Marks Securities has steered owners, boards of directors, management teams, and stakeholders through the process of assessing strategic alternatives and choosing the right path to achieve the desired result. We have decades of experience providing targeted and concise assessments and thoughtful solutions to clients.
Advising Family Businesses
Selling a company is often the most important financial decision the owner(s) of a family business will make in their lifetime. As part of a fourth-generation family-owned, entrepreneurial business, Carl Marks Securities truly understands this dynamic, and the pressures it brings at this critical juncture in the life of the company. Our team acts as a trusted advisor to family businesses in these situations, working tirelessly to navigate the complexities and close the right deal with the right buyer at the right price.
