Advice that sees further
Ashford Point Group helps owners of private companies sell, buy, and raise capital, with independent judgment and senior attention from the first conversation to the last signature.
Selling a company or bringing in a partner is rarely about one number. It is about timing, people, and what comes next, and good advice keeps all three in view.
We work with founders, family owners, and management teams who are weighing a sale, an acquisition, or new capital. Most are facing the decision for the first time.
Our role is to give them a clear picture of their options, run a disciplined process, and stay at their side until the transaction is complete.
Two practices, one point of view
Because we advise on both sales and capital raises, we can compare them honestly. Some owners are better served by a partial sale or a raise than by selling outright.
Mergers & acquisitions
We represent owners selling all or part of a company and buyers pursuing an acquisition. Each engagement is built around the client’s goals for price, timing, and the future of the business.
Company sales
Competitive processes that bring several qualified buyers to the table.
Partial sales and recapitalizations
Liquidity for owners who want to keep a stake and a role.
Acquisitions
Targeted searches and careful negotiation for strategic and financial buyers.
Succession
Transfers to management teams or the next generation, financed soundly.
Capital markets
We help established private companies raise equity and debt for growth, acquisitions, and changes in ownership, from the investors and lenders most likely to suit them.
Growth equity
Minority and majority investment from private equity and family offices.
Debt financing
Senior, unitranche, and junior capital from banks and private lenders.
Acquisition financing
Committed funding in place before an offer is made.
Refinancing
Better terms, longer maturities, and room for the business to operate.
