Sell-side
Transactions for Technology and Service Providers
LMC’s professionals provide deep expertise
in both the insurance as well as the technology/services
arenas. Our collective experiences enable us to
fully understand the specific technologies and
business practices at our client companies as well
as how their products and services address the
needs of the insurance industry. It
is this unique combination of disciplines that
contributes to the successes we generate for our
sell-side clients.
We closely track all companies in this market
space. It keeps us abreast of all prospective
buyers and sellers as well as industry trends and
valuations. In addition to having relationships
with private equity groups that target the cross-section
of insurance and technology/services companies,
we also have relationships with the strategic investment
arms of the major insurance carriers. This allows
us to quickly identify and focus on those most
qualified as potential buyers.
We treat each sell-side transaction as a highly
customized process, with a level of service and
senior attention not found at larger investment
banking firms. Every assignment begins by
developing a clear understanding of the client’s
objectives, business, and strategy. This allows
our professionals to identify, analyze, and explain
the company’s unique value to potential buyers. We
also understand the importance of leveraging our
experience and creativity to design and control
every phase of a transaction. Each assignment
also involves the preparation of a Confidential
Information Memorandum, a highly focused search
for potential buyers, a structured distribution
of information to qualified buyers, the creation
and coordination of management presentations, the
careful selection of a successful bidder, strategically
controlled negotiations, and complete guidance
through closing with the selected buyer.
