Industry: Building Materials

Location: Kansas City, MO

Seller: Top Master, Inc.

Buyer: Private Investor Group with CID Capital

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

The Deal:
Top Master, Inc. was owned by two partners with differing objectives—one seeking a liquidity event and the other intending to remain with the business post-transaction. The company engaged The DVS Group under a limited mandate to present only three qualified buyer candidates, while also independently pursuing additional potential buyers. The DVS Group introduced a private investor group partnered with a private equity firm. Ultimately, the partner remaining with the company expressed strong confidence in this buyer group’s ability to successfully complete the transaction and valued the opportunity to work alongside them on an ongoing basis.
