Flexibility
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for the sale of your business. As non-institutional investors who have been on both sides of the negotiating table, Fairfield has the autonomy, flexibility, and expertise to work with you to tailor exit strategies and succession plans that maximize absolute value while best fitting your life plans, aspirations for future involvement with the company, and personal financial situation.
Ability to close
Selling a business can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be risky or stressful. Fairfield has the transaction experience; financial, legal, and commercial advisors; and financial backing to structure, manage, and close deals - allowing you to focus your energy on what matters: running your business and living life.
