Industry: Manufacturing – Children’s Furniture

Location: Overland Park, KS

Buyer: Mr. Timothy Haake

The DVS Group’s Role: Buy-Side Advisory to Corporate Executive

The Deal:
Mr. Timothy Haake sought to complete the first of several planned acquisitions to be managed from his Kansas City-based office. The seller was looking for an energetic owner to continue driving growth within the business, and Mr. Haake’s background in sales within a mature industry, combined with his financial acumen, positioned him as an ideal successor. The DVS Group structured a creative transaction that accounted for evolving business operations and aligned the interests of both buyer and seller, while also providing advisory support throughout due diligence, purchase negotiations, and SBA financing to support future growth.
