CALDER LLC

DEALS CLOSED IN 2023

Founded in 2013, Calder Capital, LLC is a leading lower middle-market M&A advisory firm specializing in representing sellers of manufacturing, distribution, construction, and business services companies with an enterprise value ranging from $1 million to $100 million. Unlike traditional M&A firms, business brokers, or investment banks, Calder Capital leverages a comprehensive, tech-driven and marketing intensive approach to maximize results for our clients. Our goal is to create a competitive market for your business sale, ensuring you receive the best possible offers and ultimate fit for the future of your business.

Selling a business is far more complex than selling real estate, yet we like the following analogy as it demonstrates how most M&A firms and investment banks still rely on outdated methods. Imagine hiring a real estate agent who skips the MLS, ignores marketing outreach, and only contacts a small circle of past buyers. This narrow approach limits exposure and reduces the likelihood of achieving a top sale price. Unfortunately, this is how many traditional M&A firms and business brokers operate today, using minimal outreach and relying on recycled buyers from past deals.

At Calder, we do things differently. We understand that creating a broad and competitive market is the key to maximizing your business’s value. Instead of restricting your buyer pool, we conduct full-spectrum outreach using our proprietary database of 200,000+ potential buyers. We employ targeted advertising, personalized outreach, and thorough buyer research to attract financial, strategic, and entrepreneurial buyers from a variety of industries and geographies.

Unlike typical investment banks or business brokers, Calder Capital has invested heavily in automated communication and follow-up systems. Our tech-enabled marketing ensures that we engage with buyers multiple times, guaranteeing that no lead slips through the cracks. On average, our clients receive 15 competitive offers, often resulting in a sale price that exceeds valuation by 20% or more.

Our transparent, expansive market strategy sets us apart from the rest. While traditional M&A firms limit your exposure because they have not invested in the appropriate infrastructure, we believe in a balanced, robust approach that prioritizes both confidentiality and broad reach. This results in a well-vetted pool of qualified buyers, giving our clients the best opportunity to secure a favorable price, terms and a buyer they feel good about.

If you are considering selling your business, don’t settle for outdated methods used by traditional investment banks or business brokers. Choose Calder Capital – the M&A firm that offers a comprehensive, tech-driven approach designed to maximize your outcome. Contact us today to learn how we can help you achieve the best possible results in your business sale.

While this introduction has focused on Calder's sell-side practice, we are also one of the largest M&A buy-side advisory firms in the US. Additionally, we offer business valuation services and exit planning advisory.
