Benefits
of Working with Warwick
The one
group of references that we urge a prospective seller to call is the
former owners from whom we have purchased companies.
Flexible
Deal Structures
Warwick will consider a variety of transaction structures to insure
that sellers' needs are met. Transaction structures can range from simple
purchases of company's assets or stock in a buyout, to more customized
transactions that better meet a business owner's estate or tax planning
requirements.
Cash
Transactions
A unique feature of Warwick's strategy is its willingness to pursue
"all-cash" transactions. The firm does not believe in subjecting
business owners to onerous stakes in the post-closing company or to
"earnouts" that never materialize.
Confidentiality
All information shared with Warwick is held in the strictest confidence.
As a private company, we are not required to publicly disclose information
on acquisitions even after the close of a transaction. Further, Warwick
partners with a small team of external advisors (i.e. legal and accounting),
who are committed to the preservation of confidentiality throughout
the course of performing due diligence.
Expeditious
Closings
Warwick closes most transactions within 60 days of a Letter of Intent
being signed. Warwick's ability to arrange financing and close transactions
quickly is a direct result of our principals' broad range of contacts
in mergers and acquisitions developed over many years.
Operational
Autonomy
Following a transaction's close, Warwick participates primarily in a
company's strategic management (i.e. long-range planning, securing financing
for working capital, expansion and acquisition needs) so as to leverage
management's industry expertise, and the entrepreneurial environment
which exists at the operating level.

Financing

ways to structure and deliver the financing required to close even the
most complex or difficult transactions. Over the years, Warwick has
developed numerous relationships within the debt and sub-debt communities
allowing us to close transactions with enterprise values up to $50 million.
Our equity
investments are derived from a large group of individual and corporate
investors. These investors, many of whom have worked with Warwick for
the past three decades, come to us from all over the world. They include
CEO's and owners of some the world's most recognized and admired companies.
Warwick
Group's financial resources and expertise allow us to be flexible in
structuring acquisitions to meet a seller's diverse objectives.
