We're Highly Experienced
Since 2005, CCA has helped hundreds of middle market companies in the mid-Atlantic region enhance shareholder value and sell their businesses at the best price and terms. We’re veterans of the investment banking and corporate advisory worlds and skilled negotiators, with decades of business and finance experience and a track record of over $4.7B in collective transaction value. With a wide network of private equity firms and strategic buyers throughout the region, CCA knows the landscape and can find the right buyer for your business when you’re ready to sell.
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.
