For Buyers

We advise both buyers and sellers on  privately negotiated transactions which allows us to execute confidential transactions that align the intrinsic values and interests of our clients with companies we engage. This approach provides sellers the opportunity to fully explore all options before making a decision. Our experienced professionals discreetly and confidentially bring buyers together with companies seeking investment capital, and sellers seeking majority or minority sale transactions. Our goal is to find the common ground where the values, interests, and goals of buyers and sellers are in perfect alignment.

Chestnut Hill Partners is comprised exclusively of experienced investment banking and operating professionals with significant transaction and principal investment experience. We hold substantial credibility in the market and act as a resource for both our partners and the business owners we work with.

Our interests are aligned. We position ourselves as an extension of your investment team and focus not on retainers but on our mutual success through closing transactions and co-investing. We develop and present only what we view as high quality targets and/or compelling investment opportunities in which we would also seek to invest our own capital.

We’ve built long terms relationships and established market presence. Our track record is a testament to the long-standing relationships we have cultivated with our private equity partners and throughout the business community.

We have unique banking and buy-side capabilities. We uniquely combine our investment banking capabilities and operating experience with buy side investment experience to source and facilitate quality transactions where others are unable. We provide value by offering creative solutions to complex situations and sharing our insights with our partners.

Our Targeted Search Program combines sophisticated database management tools and a thorough understanding of your requirements to conduct focused and highly effective global searches. Utilizing our extensive research resources including 15 years of proprietary data, as well as our collective relationships and significant transaction experience, we screen targets based on an interactive dialogue that centers on your strategic acquisition needs. CHP designates a primary point of contact for each platform and add-on search, and that principal follows an industry leading process involving Target definition, rigorous research, and discrete Target contact following the Client’s stated parameters for ideal acquisition candidates. We identify and engage with exclusive targets that are outside the standard auction process.

• Our targeted searches are 100% executed by our team of investment banking professionals who bring extensive market knowledge and transaction experience developed at bulge bracket firms and over hundreds of transactions.

Private Equity firms have created a reservoir of over $500 billion in the last few years to recast the corporate landscape. The need is only more critical now for experienced operating executives to lead these new enterprises. Our Executive Sponsorship Program makes it possible for seasoned operating executives to participate in the development of private equity transactions and ultimately to run the acquired companies.

Partnering closely with management is central to our investment philosophy. We believe that the most successful opportunities are created by management teams that have increased operating autonomy and meaningful equity ownership in their companies.

For those executives who have held top operating positions and have the desire to take the CEO helm in a new business, the Executive Sponsorship Program is an opportunity for a substantive and confidential conversation with recognized leaders in closing successful middle market transactions.
