For nearly 40 years, TRAVCO has developed relationships with an expansive number of nation-wide and global private equity, family office, venture capital (PE) and strategic buyers from diverse industries. These relationships allow TRAVCO to bring to market prospective mergers, acquisitions, and businesses for sale to PE buyers and strategic industry buyers that have demonstrated financial capability to acquire and close deals.

Our proprietary database represents 100,000 private equity buyers and strategic industry buyers. Through this database, we are in daily contact with active, self-identified, and qualified buyers. We grow our database 24/7.  While engaged in your sell-side arrangement, we enrich our database to identify additional private equity and strategic industry buyers most likely to pursue your business acquisition.

Private Equity Buyers

Many sellers are unaware of the role and readiness of private equity buyers. Here are important facts an individual business seller should know:

• The basic functions of a PE firm are to raise capital, source and close mid-market business opportunities as investments.
• PE buyers utilize their own funds, capital from investors or ready financing for its acquisitions.  They stand by ready to close deals.
• PE buyers have unique maneuverability to swiftly acquire businesses.

Strategic Industry Buyers

Strategic industry buyers are businesses that operate in businesses like yours that have targeted growth strategies through mergers, acquisitions and opportunistic transactions.  Strategic industry buyers accumulate sufficient capital to self-fund buy-outs and have strong relationships with banks and other acquisition lenders.
