Why
Spring Garden?
Valuation
of garden products–based
companies requires an in-depth understanding of the industry and of
the characteristics of a specific company within that industry, whether
it be product position, pricing strategy, management depth, marketing,
channels served, information technology, or relative competitive aspects.
Our expertise
in these areas enables us to develop strategic planning and implementation
strategies to help each company realize its desired value. The Principals
of Spring Garden have extensive management experience over a broad spectrum
of the garden products industry. They have successfully financed, acquired
and managed several leading companies in careers that span 30 years.
The
Disposition of a Business: Understanding the Issues
When
controlling shareholders consider the disposition of a well-established
business, they’re most likely driven by a desire for liquidity or asset
diversification, or a concern with a lack of management succession or
depth. Doubts and questions often arise. There’s the shock effect of
no longer being active in the business, and questions about whether
the value received will meet the owners’ financial goals, or whether
the company will be under responsible ownership after the sale.
Family
businesses often turn to trusted lawyers or accountants for advice,
or to a traditional mergers and acquisitions firm.
Spring
Garden plays a different role as strategist and financing specialists
in the garden products industry. It strives in every relationship to
maximize a client’s current and future value.
Our
Approach
Spring Garden develops and recommends strategies that will add
to a company’s value and align the shareholders’ desired financial goals
with realistic market values and the resultant value of their equity.
This
approach is designed to make the disposition process an effective undertaking
that meets the expectations of management and shareholders. It seeks
to avoid extended exercises of evaluation and negotiation that distract
employees and negatively affect an individual’s business.
