Services Offered:

MidAtlantic Business Advisors offers a range of services to the business owner. Business Brokerage — According to surveys, most owners of mid-market businesses “plan” to have their children take over their businesses, but in fact, that only happens in 10% of all businesses. The most common event, and almost always the most lucrative for the exiting owner, is a third party sale. A skilled intermediary protects confidentiality, prepares and presents the business attractively, finds and qualifies potential buyers, negotiates the best price and terms to maximize after-tax proceeds, and assures that closing occurs smoothly. The MidAtlantic Method excels in all of these areas as evidenced by its extremely high success rate—roughly triple that of the industry as a whole. Business Acquisitions — As with most “stories”, there are two sides to every business sale: the seller’s and the buyer’s, and both sides are equally important. Through its many years of experience and many transactions, MidAtlantic Business Advisors has learned where and how to find business opportunities, how to assess them, how to value them, and creative ways to buy and finance them. The success or failure of a business acquisition is often determined at the time of the purchase. The MidAtlantic Method can ensure a good start. Valuations and Value Coaching — Business valuations are required in many circumstances such as business loans, estate planning, litigation, insurance requirements, etc. MidAtlantic Business Advisors has the training, experience, and resources necessary to provide this service. Often, our valuations are done in preparation for a sale, and sometimes the outcome of a valuation does not align with the owner’s expectations or goals for the transaction. In those circumstances, MidAtlantic Business Advisors can provide advice and counsel on how the value of the enterprise can be improved. This value improvement can mean the difference between achieving rather than falling short of an owner’s financial goals.

Company:

MidAtlantic Business Advisors, originally trading as MidAtlantic Resources, was founded by Ronald F. Rash in 2002. After an early career in Fortune 500 companies, Mr. Rash acquired, started, or invested in thirteen closely held mid-market businesses during his subsequent twenty-plus year career as a “serial entrepreneur”. Mr. Rash was owner/operator and CEO of five of those businesses and in eight of them he successfully exited by effecting an ownership transfer to a third party. Through these experiences, Mr. Rash became a believer in the invaluable role an outside advisor or intermediary can and should play in planning, preparing, and facilitating an owner’s exit from his or her business. His experiences also taught him that the lower mid-market business owner’s needs and issues are the same as owners of larger companies, and often their urgency is greater yet most firms providing these services only target the larger companies. MidAtlantic Business Advisors was founded to fill this service void. We strive to provide our fullest capabilities to each and every client, and we specialize in lower middle market businesses with revenues of $500,000 to $20,000,000.
