For Intermediaries
Bottom Line: It’s never about any one transaction; it’s always about the relationship
Follow Through: We Keep Our Word
We attempt to structure transactions that are fair to all parties and are in the long-term best interests of the target companies. We give an honest appraisal of the value of the company based on the information provided. We do not submit unrealistically high bids with the intention of gaining a position of negotiating leverage and later lowering the price. With a long-standing history of investments and financing relationships with numerous lending partners, we have the ability to quickly close on a transaction.
In buy-side relationships, River Associates expects to fairly compensate intermediaries for closed transactions and has worked under a variety of fee structures. Further, we have even offered intermediaries the ability to purchase equity in transactions where interest is expressed and where the intermediary can add value through assisting us in our search for add-on acquisitions.
