(BTS) is a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) firm focused on the lower-mid market. We provide buy-side and sell-side M&A advisory services to private companies, generally with revenues between $2 million and $20 million mostly within New England and New York. Our range of services are designed to help owners prepare and complete a transfer. With offices in throughout New England we are well positioned to serve New England and beyond.
BTS continues to actively engage business owners across the region who are interested in selling. We welcome a chance for a conversation, whether the goal is to sell now or sometime in the future. Contact us if you would like to begin the conversation.
The BTS process starts with analyzing the business financials and operations. We develop an Estimate of Value (EOV) to confirm that our client’s expectations are consistent with the business value in today’s market. We then move to developing marketing materials and researching and identifying targets (potential strategic and financial buyers). Finally, we “go-to-market” and continue with the process until we have signed a Letter of Intent and a successful closing.
If your transition timeline is a year or more out, BTS can assist you in preparing and positioning your business for a transition down the road. Through advisory engagements, we help owners maximize the value of their businesses and enhance operations in ways that will pave the way for the next step whether that is an exit or a growth strategy. Our experience in the industry along with our associations and affiliations, give us insight into what is expected for a transition to successfully occur. Only a small fraction of privately held businesses successfully transfer either to the next generation or to an outside entity. Those best prepared with a strong foundation will achieve the best results.

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with John Howe and Ken Schaefer of Business Transition Strategies. Their professionalism and expertise are unmatched in the New England region. They moderated an uncommonly smooth sale process, and we truly appreciated their honesty and integrity. They were both instrumental in helping us hit the ground running post acquisition.”
