Piper Group International, LLC

Serving Los Angeles County, CA

Piper Group International, LLC (“PGI”) is a leading provider of middle-market Merger and Acquisition services. PGI has been for decades focused on a single mission: “to improve our clients’ positions.” Our unique and proven market approach has resulted in years of sold businesses. See our Testimonials webpage or see below our Letters of References Brochure link that spans four decades. See reference comments below under About. Our Core Values WE TRULY CARE. When we take on an engagement, we realize that you are placing your retirement and financial future in our hands. And we take this responsibility seriously — we respect the years you’ve taken to create this business and the importance this transaction will have on your future. Our Approach Our first step is to share what we know about the current market conditions and how buyers value closely held businesses. We then look at your business to arrive at a range of value to see if your expectations are within the market. Only then do we engage to represent you. If not, we will offer advisory services to help you grow your company and achieve a value that meets your expectations. Our Geography and Industry Wide Experience Our client base is not dominated by a single industry - our experience spans mid-market technology, manufacturing, distribution, and service companies. We provide creative, customized solutions for your specific needs. We have had engagements from all parts of the country and internationally. Our Commitment PGI shepherds the process from beginning to end. Making a market with multiple offers then using our Deal Point process to create an ethical “limited Auction.” Then once we have decided which buyer, using our proven “Roadmap to Closing” process which keeps the transactions on target through the maze of buyer’s due diligence; third-party consents; financing, and legal, tax and real-estate issues. Again, our years of letters of reference tell it best.
