Advisory Across Transactions, Capital And Ownership

EBITDA20x advises business owners and boards throughout the full lifecycle of a sale process, from positioning and buyer identification through negotiation, diligence and closing.

On buy-side engagements, the firm advises strategic acquirers and financial sponsors on identifying, evaluating, structuring and executing acquisitions within its core sectors.

EBITDA20x advises companies on raising and structuring capital to support growth, acquisitions, shareholder liquidity and recapitalizations, evaluating alternatives across the capital structure against each client’s objectives.

Engagements include assessing how much capital a business can support, on what terms, and from which sources — sponsors, family offices, credit funds, strategic investors or traditional lenders.

EBITDA20x advises boards, shareholders and management teams on decisions that extend beyond a single transaction: whether to sell, acquire, separate, recapitalize or remain independent.

These engagements often begin well before a process does, and are structured around the specific objectives of the business and its stakeholders.

EBITDA20x advises companies on how they are understood by the investor community: how the equity story is framed, which investors are approached, how performance is communicated between reporting periods, and where the gap sits between management’s view of the business and the market’s.

Engagements range from preparing a private company for its first institutional investor conversations through ongoing support for public company management teams and boards.

EBITDA20x provides valuation analysis supporting transactions, financings, planning and board decision-making, applying discounted cash flow, comparable company, precedent transaction, leveraged buyout and sum-of-the-parts methodologies as appropriate.

The firm also renders fairness opinions to boards and special committees evaluating the financial terms of a proposed transaction, including situations involving conflicts of interest or heightened fiduciary considerations.

EBITDA20x advises companies, shareholders and creditors in situations where capital structure, liquidity or performance pressure shapes the alternatives available.

Engagements range from proactive liability management and refinancing through distressed sale processes and creditor negotiations.

Beyond advising on transactions, EBITDA20x invests its own capital in businesses within its core sectors, taking positions alongside founders, management teams and financial sponsors.
