Wine Mergers, LLC advisors have solid business backgrounds.  They not only understand a client's business, but also future opportunities and strategic value for prospective buyers.  Our advisors have owned businesses, accomplished turnarounds and managed growth.  We have hands-on business experience in a broad range of industries.  This experience allows us to quickly and thoroughly understand the potential within any company.  We delve into operations, people, competition, marketing, manufacturing, distribution and technology to find the transferable, intangible things that make a company valuable in the market.

Wine Mergers, LLC prepares a descriptive "Confidential Profile" to present a company to prospective buyers.  The profile is created with the buyers "requirements" in mind.  We know what qualified buyers require when reviewing a Profile, and we create a compelling book to generate prospective buyer interest.  Each of our Confidential Profiles focuses on our client's unique strengths and value.  Our Profiles are so effective that we have had buyers make attractive offers without visiting our client.

Selling your company may be the biggest transaction you will ever undertake.  Many owners think they can and should do it themselves.  But a professional advisor can: 

Determine & Obtain the highest, market-based value for your business

Prepare documents supporting an aggressive, yet realistic, value objective

Write a descriptive  Confidential Profile

Identify buyers who will have interest in acquiring the business

Approach numerous potential buyers, determining interest & qualifications

Conduct meetings with potential buyers

Negotiate Letters of Intent

Negotiate the documents and final deal structure

Coordinate all due dilligence and closing activities

Ensure a successful close and transfer of the business

Wine Mergers has successfully transacted more deals than any other M&A firm in the wine industry.  When considering selling your vineyard or winery, you need an advisor that is knowledgeable on your business and has transaction history.  There are too many valuable considerations when completing a transaction that cannot afford to be overlooked.  We have to target "moving" inventories, transfer licenses, analyze retention of employees, maintain distribution levels and complete a mountain of paperwork.  Our advisors are experts in this business and get the deal done properly.
