Acquisition Search

Harvey & Company serves as an advisor to a select group of corporations seeking to build their business via acquisition. Often these clients are private-equity backed or publicly-traded, but increasingly family-held companies also recognize the importance of acquisition growth as a component of value creation.

Acquirers engage Harvey & Company because of the deep domain expertise of our deal teams and our proven track record of advising buyers. Through two decades of co-investing alongside private equity funds and working to build those investments through acquisition, we have developed a skillset that can be very valuable to any organization embarking on a proactive acquisition strategy.

Harvey & Company’s 50 professionals are organized into nine teams, each of which is led by a senior project manager with an average of 10+ years of experience in private equity and corporate acquisition searches. Each team is focused by industry. Our services include:

• Working with management to identify the most strategic and accretive acquisitions
• Manage the process of discreet and professional outreach to primarily founder- and family-owned businesses
• Facilitate discussions and analysis of attractive opportunities
• Leverage our industry experience and connections

Our experience enables us to efficiently and proactively identify and evaluate strategic and relevant opportunities, which has led to initiating over 270 add-on acquisitions. This success has fostered an expanding base of clients.
