The DVS Group’s Role: Buy-Side Advisory to Growing Business

The Deal:
HMS Health LLC, a provider of biomedical equipment repair and clinical engineering services, engaged The DVS Group to support its strategy of rapid growth through acquisition across the Midwest. The DVS Group executed a targeted search to identify attractive acquisition candidates, including CDS, whose owner was seeking to transition out of the business and whose team brought specialized expertise in sterilizer repair services that complemented HMS’s existing capabilities. The DVS Group facilitated valuation and deal structuring discussions, guided both parties to agreement on favorable terms, and worked through multiple financing options to secure a flexible, long-term banking partner to support the transaction.
