The Provident Group was formed and structured to provide privately owned and closely held mid-market companies with specialized Intermediary business services and representation throughout the merger, acquisition, and divestiture process.

Whereas most sellers have never bought or sold a business, many buyers, especially large corporations or private equity firms, buy or sell businesses on a routine basis. We bridge the experience gap between buyer and seller and in so doing: (i) safeguard the private business owner from the many potential pitfalls, (ii) maintain control of the process and ensure that it moves in a deliberate, timely and confidential manner, (iii) insulate the business owner from the day-to-day demands of the M&A process, so they can remain squarely focused on running the company for peak performance and (iv) assist our client in realizing the maximum valuation for the business.

The Provident team is committed to working diligently with you, as an advocate providing a comprehensive consultative approach to each and every business transaction. You can rely on every Provident Intermediary and team to bring to you exactly the same level of service and professional resources that an institutional client receives from the finest investment bank.

The Provident Group maintains relationships with a large number of strategic and financial buyers, both domestic and international. Provident Intermediaries meet with over 100 Private Equity Firms twice a year to update the acquisition Criteria of each individual firm.

Although there is a strong preference for financially qualified buyers, in the event acquisition financing is called for, The Provident Group may help source the capital from among the numerous capital providers with whom we maintain relationships. Our goal is to remove any and all impediments to getting the right deal done for our client—including but not limited to a buyer’s ability to finance the transaction

When you work with The Provident Group, you’ll have access to the power of synergistic outreach to find the best path possible to both create and structure your transaction, and see it to its successful conclusion.
