Consider Selling

To get started, please reach out to our President, Bryan Cummings. Bryan has over 30 years in the industry and has been intimately involved in over 20 acquisitions. Bryan understands the confidentiality of these conversations and even if you are not ready to sell today, he is happy to coach companies for the future. We also have a team at Anticimex (our Parent company) that you can reach out to if you prefer to start outside the local market, Sebastian Tomassoni is the Head of M&A for the United States.

Will you walk me through the process?

Step #1: Non-disclosure Agreement signed by both parties for confidentiality, protecting both parties.

Step #2: Letter of Intent (LOI) signed by both parties - this letter outlines the terms and conditions of our offer, including the deal valuation and structure. In order to provide you with the LOI, we will request basic business operational and financial information going back three years.

Step #3: Due Diligence focuses on an in-depth analysis of the business and agree on transition documentation. We expect to understand the value of your business, including the employees and customers. After completing satisfactory due diligence, we will agree on detailed transaction documents and will complete the legal acquisition through payment of purchase price and transfer of shares or assets.

Step #4: Integration focuses on a plan that retains the value in the acquired business. With every transaction, we custom tailor our integration approach with our #1 priority to be a smooth transition for both your employees and customers. We want to starting building and earning trust with your organization so that we can collaborate on a successful transition / integration and provide future growth opportunities going forward.

Yes. We have many former owners that work within the organization today. In all cases, we will need ownership to remain in place (typically done on a consulting basis) for at least 60-120 days post-closing to help transition the customers and employee base smoothly without any disruption to the business. In several cases, owners and family members have remained employed to varying degrees, to which specifics can be discussed more in person.

Peachtree values the team that makes your company great - we have no desire to replace your team! Your team will carry forward their tenure and therefore they are not treated or considered new employees. During integration, your team will need to continue in their current roles as they were to continue to run the day-to-day operations, with some adjustments as your business integrates into our organization. Your team is actively involved in the integration process, and in many cases individuals from acquired companies have been promoted to new roles they will thrive in. In the end, they are afforded incremental benefits and career opportunities for a successful future.

We work together with you on the best way to formulate and communicate the news with your team. One "Day 1," you will first communicate with your team about the sale and your rationale with them in mind. After that, the team will meet with you and our company executives to discuss our excitement about this partnership. Our priority on Day 1 is to provide a warm welcome and onboard experience to your employees with full transparency regarding their employment, benefits and growth opportunities going forward within the new organization.

Your customers will need to be handled with sensitivity - a careful plan is put in place with you and your teams involvement. A gradual communication to your customers will happen. Termite customers with warranties must be told within first 30 day per industry regulations.
