Chicago, July 2010 – Cook M&A Advisory Services, the leading strategy-driven, buy-side advisory services firm, announces its rebranding initiative. Driven by a strong increase in demand for its FocusFirst™ deal origination service and the success of the CEOVisions® program, the new branding reemphasizes the unique value that Cook M&A’s services bring to private equity clients.
“The FocusFirst service provides a unique approach for sourcing proprietary deals. Our methodology positions our clients as distinctive strategic investors, allowing for far more quality and actionable deal opportunities,” explains Sven A. Kins, Managing Director of Cook M&A Advisory Services. “In fact, I was recently told by one of our clients that he had never had so many business owners from one industry want to talk to him.”
Kins continues, “Combined with our CEOVisions program, which partners visionary, deal-driven executives with our private equity clients to acquire companies, we have a powerful model that provides a distinct advantage to our clients.”
As a result of the FocusFirst strategy, Cook M&A’s private equity clients have experienced a surge in increased deal flow opportunities. Under the CEOVisions program, Cook M&A has helped private equity groups deploy over $2 billion of equity, backing executives to acquire and build companies. Cook M&A has closed more than 70 M&A transactions ranging in size from $5 million to $800 million in enterprise value.
