We Know Your Industry

The CCA team has broad, deep industry-specific knowledge and expertise, enabling us to draw from the right buyer groups and choose the best fit for your transaction. No matter what sector you operate in, chances are we’ve worked with businesses like yours. We’re especially knowledgeable and experienced in government contracting/IT; engineering and construction; healthcare; business and financial services; logistics/transportation/distribution/supply chain management; and manufacturing/distribution. But we’ve also completed successful transactions for companies in many other industries and sectors, drawing on our disciplined approach, proprietary models, and client-centric focus.

We Match Our Approach to Your Business

Many factors impact your business value, including your company’s stage of life. A successful transaction demands that you understand your company’s maturity and its effect on your valuation. Using our proprietary Shareholder Value Maturity Model, the CCA team applies a disciplined process to evaluate nine complementary categories that impact your business valuation and how they correspond to your company’s stage of life. Then we tailor our approach accordingly, choosing the best course of action to drive the optimal outcome.
