The Value We Add

Partnership - From deal evaluation to post-acquisition integration, Stony Point is actively involved to ensure performance. Some specific activities include: participation in strategy formation and execution, assistance in selection/replacement of key managers, accountability to various operational and marketing metrics, and board member participation.

Speed - The process of selling a business is an emotional and unnerving experience for the owners, employees, customers and other constituents of the business being sold. The ability to complete the processes quickly is always a great advantage for the business being sold. This is especially true when the business being sold is financially distressed. Given our transaction and turnaround experience in distressed situations, Stony Point is able to quickly evaluate and close a transaction. On several occasions we have completed deals from introduction to closing in less than 40 days.

Flexibility - Our operating focus provides a great deal of flexibility. We are able to purchase companies, divisions, subsidiaries, plants, and processes. In appropriate cases we are able to structure the transaction as either an asset purchase or a stock purchase.

Certainty - At Stony Point we take the approach of being very direct and straight forward in communicating our valuation approach and our assumptions to business sellers. Because of our focus on acquisitions that are supported by asset values we have a very high level of certainty that we can deliver and close on acquisitions in a timely manner and at the indicated price. Based on our track record a seller can be certain that, once committed, we will be able to deliver the deal we propose.
