MAZER ADVISORS

Specialized Services

Mazer Advisors assists companies in the following areas:

Raising Capital
Growing companies are almost always in need of additional capital. Capital can be obtained from different sources depending on the stage of a company’s development. Sources include “angel” investors, early-stage venture capital funds, later-stage private equity funds, and friends and family. Each of these sources has advantages and disadvantages. Mazer Advisors will guide your company through the capital raising process. In addition, we provide advice on the strategic and operational decisions that will make your company attractive to an investor, and match your company with an investor that understands your business.

Mergers and Acquisitions
Acquisitions can benefit a growing company by supplying additional capabilities at a lower cost than in-house development. These capabilities might include a new product line or technology, expansion into a new geographic market or the addition of a sought-after member of a management or design team. For companies seeking acquisitions, we can find candidates and provide strategic advice to help ensure that the acquisition is successful. Mazer Advisors helps identify attractive acquisition candidates, performs due diligence on potential candidates, and structures and negotiates the transaction. Conversely, your company might be attractive to other companies as an acquisition. For companies seeking to be sold, our firm maintains a network of strategic and financial buyers, and can expertly guide you through all aspects of the transaction process.

Workouts, Restructuring and Bankruptcies
Even the best planning and execution cannot guarantee the financial success of a business. Companies may experience financial problems that result from factors as diverse as the overall corporate lending environment or the financial problems of a major customer. Mazer Advisors has extensive experience working with management and lenders in the areas of bankruptcy, restructuring and commercial loan workouts. We can address operational and financial issues, and have experience negotiating complex restructuring transactions involving multiple parties with conflicting interests. Mazer Advisors can help your company work with your stockholders, lenders and other stakeholders to reach a successful outcome.
