1. No One Has More Experience
With Privately-Held Companies.
No One.
You Only Get One Chance to Sell Your Company.
Every Business Owner
Will Eventually Exit
Their Company.
Be EMPOWERED
to do so on your terms.
Be INFORMED
of the alternatives.

2. Why Didn't They Close?
The owner taking their eye off the ball causing performance to suffer during the M&A
phase, loss of a major customer, a major supplier, divorce, non-disclosed environmental
problems, suppliers refusing to assign supply agreements, seller's not being truthful in due
diligence; and disagreements amongst shareholders - to name a few reasons.
eMerge’s M&A professionals have
successfully closed hundreds of
transactions (both full and partial sales)
across all industries and are experts in
maximizing sale proceeds and
determining the best successor…
they may not be the same.
Before we take on a new client, we
discuss their personal and financial
goals, provide a Free Market Evaluation
of their company’s probable market
value and analyze current market
conditions to determine if now is the
right time to sell.
If we think we can conduct a successful
sale, only then will we proceed to the
next steps in the highly successful
eMerge M&A Process. If now is just not
the right time to sell, we will
say so.
It’s personal - we get you the best deal
the market will provide and protect
your interests through the process.

Why Work with eMerge M&A, Inc.?
Since 2009 we have worked with 326 business owners each of which
were provided with a proprietary Analytics Report. In addition to
rendering a market value on a company, the Analytics Report also has
quantifiable recommendations for increasing the market value of a
privately-held company.
Of the 326 companies:
59% have taken the Analytics Report and done nothing,
22% have chosen to use the Analytics Report and made tangible changes,
19% have gone to market and 100% of them have gotten offers on the
average within 9% of our valuation.
However, not all 100% closed transactions - that metric is 88%.

3. eMerge M&A has worked with over
3,000 privately-held companies and
completed over $5 billion in funded
transactions.
It Is All In The Numbers … We Get Results.
Originally founded in 1989, our
mission is to provide a level of
expertise, knowledge, and execution
not typically available to owners of
privately-held middle market
companies.
With offices in New York, Pennsylvania,
Florida, Texas, and California, eMerge
M&A is perhaps the most experienced
and data rich M&A firm serving this
market segment.
“The sale of a privately-held company
is much more complex
than Wall Street mega-deals.
The potential buyer pool is larger
and the transaction issues are
more complex and varied.”
Michael Ryan, President
eMerge M&A, Inc.
No one has worked with more privately-held companies. No one.
