Question
We're looking to (fully) exit for genuine personal (family) reasons despite have a fast growing multi-national business that lends itself perfectly as an extension within the consumer travel sector. We've attracted media and partnerships worldwide and are growing at a fast pace without funding.
We're advised our business is ideal for a Top tier travel company and would like to find the right M&A broker to partner with to ensure plans / progress / metrics best align to enable this in 2016/17 as we continue to grow fast in the meantime.
Who's the ideal broker (that's likely to deal within the $20-$50m+ market) who can best manage this?
Any pointers (also / or including likely fee structure and how best to 'get out there for sale without compromising value') Very much appreciated. Thank-you!
Answer
You can contact the M&A firms and they may help you out. Notable among them are:
Goldman Sachs: Goldman Sachs was founded in 1869 and is headquartered at 200 West Street in Lower Manhattan, New York City, with additional offices in other international financial centres. The firm provides asset management, mergers and acquisitions advice, prime brokerage, and underwriting services to its clients, which include corporations, governments, and individuals. The firm also engages in market making and private equity deals and is a primary dealer in the U.S. Treasury security market.
Moelis & Co: Moelis & Company was founded very recently in 2007 and has headquarters in New York, with 17 offices in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

Wells Fargo: Wells Fargo & Company is an American international banking and financial services holding company headquartered in San Francisco, California. Wells Fargo in its present form is a result of a merger between San Francisco–based Wells Fargo & Company and Minneapolis-based Norwest Corporation in 1998 and the subsequent 2008 acquisition of Charlotte-based Wachovia. Following the mergers, the company transferred its headquarters to Wells Fargo's headquarters in San Francisco and merged its operating subsidiary with Wells Fargo's operating subsidiary in Sioux Falls.
