Investment Process
Empire's M&A team is always prepared to mobilize and coordinate the resources needed to quickly evaluate and execute an investment opportunity. Our team is comprised primarily of dedicated in-house professionals that support every facet of a transaction, including: finance, legal, tax, human resources, risk management, operations, sales & marketing, communications and technology. Empire employs a rigorous, intimate and disciplined approach to evaluating each potential investment.
Empire works through the acquisition process while addressing all degrees of complexities associated with corporate divestitures, including minimizing any risk related to extracting the business unit from the parent. The firm is committed to supporting corporate sellers in attaining their strategic goals by maintaining a flexible, responsive and highly focused environment, led by experienced professionals. If speed, decisiveness and certainty of close are essential to the corporate seller, then Empire is the ideal option. Since Empire's team is primarily internal, and given the resident experience of having evaluated numerous investment opportunities for over 20 years, it does move rapidly through the due diligence process and is able to complete its review within a short period of time.
