Step 1: Introductions


Direct Contact		Business owners often contact us directly to determine if we are interested in acquiring their company or partnering with them to invest in and help grow their business. To see if Hadley Capital might be a good fit for you, please see our Investment Focus section.


Intermediary		In other cases, intermediaries , including business brokers , investment bankers , commercial bankers, accountants, etc. introduce business owners to Hadley Capital. Frequently, the intermediary has been engaged by the business owner. Intermediaries can help owners reach a larger pool of buyers, guide owners through the sale process and assist owners in identifying qualified transaction advisors (such as attorneys). Hadley Capital has acquired companies where intermediaries were involved and those where they were not. Choosing an intermediary—or not—is a personal decision. We have established relationships with intermediaries from all over the country and would be happy to make introductions to them. Of the 1,000 or so companies we are introduced to each year, approximately 25% proceed to Step 2.

At Hadley Capital, we are introduced to more than 1,000 small companies each year. Sometimes owners call us directly. We are also frequently introduced through an intermediary.
