Acquisition Performance

Just the thought of transitioning from ownership is difficult for some.  Others are intentionally grooming their firms day-by-day for a future transition.  Still others haven't given it a single thought. Or won't.

For those willing to even contemplate this subject, questions can be plentiful:
  • Will the firm continue to be successful if I sell?
  • What about the firm name? Does it have to change?
  • You won't change my pricing, will you?
  • We do things a certain way here. Will that continue?
  • What about my employees? Will they be retained?  Will they be treated well?
  • I'm not necessarily ready to retire but it seems like it might be a good time to sell. Do I have the option for a meaningful position in the firm if I choose to sell?

It's only natural to have questions such as these (and many others) when this topic enters your mind. We understand that.  We talk with people every day who aren't ready - or even interested - to sell their firm right now.  We also talk with others who didn't even know they were interested until we began discussing the possibilties.

Whether you're intending to sell, contemplating it or perhaps dealing with unforseen circumstances like a health issue that necessitate a transition, it should be reassuring to know that hundreds and hundreds of former owners have sucessfully transitioned their firms into the SCI family over the years. 

Our team works hard to ensure good, smooth transitions for owners as well as their employees and their communities. But our work doesn't end when the transition is finished. In fact, after any firm joins the SCI family, we measure that firm's performance against expectations for the first three years after the parternship is completed.  What we've found is that the results are very positive: 8 out of 10 firms exceed or meet our expectations. 

The Acqusition Performance page includes the profile of a firm 1 to 2 years after joining the SCI family. To read about the acquisition performance of this edition's featured firm, please click here or navigate via the Acquisition Performance heading above.
