Exit Strategies Group, Inc.

Exit Strategies Group has advised on well over 100 successful business sale, merger and acquisition transactions, with more than a dozen in the industrial automation market. We work with automation distributors, system integrators, custom machine builders and manufacturers. As sell-side M&A advisors (investment bankers), our team helps owners evaluate their companies and exit options, and increase value and sale readiness. Our structured sale process attracts multiple acquirers/investors and optimizes transaction outcomes. We draft a compelling offering memorandum; find, contact, screen and inform buyers; obtain competing bids; negotiate deal terms; manage due diligence and closing procedures; and provide advice from beginning to end. We increase our clients' proceeds, save them time and aggravation and improve their odds of a successful sale. Our accredited business valuation team values privately-held automation companies for exit planning, management buy-outs, ESOP and buy-sell transactions, tax compliance, and other purposes over the life of a company. Prior to founding Exit Strategies Group in 2002, Al Statz served in multiple leadership roles for industrial automation companies. He has MBA and engineering degrees.
