Industry: Wholesale Distributor – Janitorial and Maintenance Products

Location: St. Petersburg, FL

Seller: Confidential

Buyer: Mr. Stephen Collins

The DVS Group’s Role: Sell-Side Advisory to Business Owner

The Deal:
The business owners sought a quick and confidential transaction to facilitate the dissolution of a family partnership, which required achieving a premium valuation acceptable to all equity holders. The DVS Group identified Mr. Stephen Collins, a corporate executive with international healthcare experience who was seeking to relocate to Florida and pursue business ownership, as the ideal buyer. The DVS Group negotiated a transaction structure that accommodated the required purchase premium in a manageable format for all parties, sourced and secured financing, and supported the buyer in obtaining qualified legal counsel when needed. The transaction was completed efficiently and on mutually agreeable terms.
