Broker Biography
Services Provided
BUY-SIDE: Calder Capital’s Buy-Side M&A Advisory is focused on bringing buyers proprietary, off-market deal flow driven by high-quality, high-quantity direct outreach to potential sellers matching our client’s specific criteria and by leveraging our existing network. Our team can source and execute deals nationwide, as evidenced by having completed deals in 30+ different states to date. By completing all of the work in-house, our team can uphold professionalism and quality in establishing the first impression on behalf of our client, as well as guarantee leads and deal flow.
Our buy-side gold clients are guaranteed 10 introductions with sellers that meet their criteria (or they don't pay) and often pay a .5x EBITDA multiple less than fair market value for these businesses. Similarly, our buy-side clients' ability to consistently close transactions with off-market sellers is tied directly to our willingness to research, call, email, and qualify sellers diligently. Most firms offering buy-side services tap their existing network, issue a press release, and hope the phone rings. We contact each owner seven times through cold calling and emailing within two weeks. That's how we get a "yes", "no", or "call me in a year" response from 40%+ of those owners we reach out to. And for those that say "yes", we conduct a 30-minute interview with them to ensure that they're a fit before we bother our client.
SELL-SIDE: Sell-side services for companies $1-100M in enterprise value in the industries of construction, manufacturing, business services, and distribution. Calder works on a day-to-day basis with sell-side clients, ensuring that we must perform. Calder's #1 differentiating factor on the sell-side is our ability to confidentially market our opportunities to 10,000s of buyers at once while processing and qualifying mass response. This ensures maximum offers and competition.
