Tom Bronson
NorthStar Mergers & Acquisitions
Serving Tarrant County, TX
When founding partners Tom Bronson, Jeremy Furtick and John Gorbutt launched NorthStar Mergers & Acquisitions, their collective goal was simple, albeit lofty – create a unique M&A advisory service that did not currently exist in the marketplace, but was desperately needed. After months of brainstorming, researching and planning, NorthStar was born and began working with the owners of privately-held companies in the lower-middle market. While the core function of NorthStar is not unique – assisting business owners with the sales of their companies – what is unique are the processes, methods and motivations the founders utilized to create NorthStar’s proprietary offering. At first glance, NorthStar’s process appears simple – as it should. The major steps of selling a privately-held business are not difficult to grasp or understand. However, it’s what goes on within those three basic stages of the process that make or break successful transactions and allow business owners to realize their dream exits. That’s where NorthStar has poured an enormous amount of time, money and first-hand experience into developing a proprietary business listing and sales system called the NorthStar Transaction Navigator. TransNav helps ensure NorthStar’s clients are able to sell their businesses for the highest possible price, in the shortest amount of time, with the fewest number of surprises, while NorthStar maintains a vigilant commitment to the owner’s objectives. TransNav comprises three essential elements: 1. Business Assessment & Market Valuation Analysis 2. Marketing Promotion & Buyer Management 3. Due Diligence Oversight & Closing Coordination
