After just completing a life-changing deal selling my company to private equity, I can honestly say that selecting ICG Capital and Scott Upton to help me navigate through the process was one of the best decisions I have made. I was referred to ICG by my corporate accounting firm, which is also a very respected company. They told me Scott was the best in the business. I interviewed three companies and felt the best about ICG.

It is an understatement to mention that doing a deal with private equity as a major undertaking that is time-consuming, stressful, and volatile. Working with ICG made it much more palatable, and even after our first deal fell through they presented another option immediately that was even better in the long run.

ORC was introduced to Scott Upton and ICG from a prior client that had a wonderful experience using ICG for their Sale transaction, after an introduction it was clear that ICG’s team was a good fit for ORC. ORC spent several years in high growth mode, and we knew we did not want to be acquired by a competitor. We spoke with Scott about our desire to be a platform company and use the internal infrastructure created to continue our growth model. Scott quickly helped us create a management presentation to bring this idea to life. His understanding of the market allowed us to capitalize on finding an equity partner that aligned with our culture and values. Scott’s understanding of family businesses helped us navigate the transition and educate all parties during the process. ORC had been family owned since 1969 and Scott had the ability to take a complex process and make it easier to navigate. With his guidance we received a competitive price, multiple offers and completed the transaction much quicker than ever anticipated. He was always available to answer any questions, mitigate competing concerns and keep it fun along the journey. I highly recommend him and the ICG team, we would use him again.

The ICG Capital team brought a wealth of experience to the table regarding Veterinary hospital transactions. The knowledge and expertise that Scott and his colleagues had of our marketplace was invaluable and allowed us to continue to focus on our business while navigating our transaction which was extremely complex. Having a respected and experienced investment banker representing us made all of the difference. We would highly recommend ICG.

After looking to explore the possibility of selling my company, my advisors at Merrill Lynch put me into contact with ICG Capital, and I’m very thankful they did. ICG Capital advised and guided me step by step through the entire M&A process, from identifying potential buyers all the way through closing. They were in constant communication and helped me navigate through complex situations with ease. ICG Capital served as a reliable partner and found not just a buyer, but the right strategic partner to purchase my company for the best long term results. I would highly recommend ICG Capital to anyone seeking guidance throughout the M&A process.

We were introduced to Scott and the team at ICG by a trusted advisor. Following an initial call, he suggested a path to help us identify potential strategic options for our company.
Their direct approach was a great fit and in a short amount of time, ICG identified a realistic valuation range and potential partners to consider. As the process evolved, they provided guidance and streamlined the flow of information for everyone involved. This enabled us to find the right partner and arrangement that worked for all.
ICG was involved throughout the process and made sure all areas were covered. We remain very pleased with the outcome and direction of our business moving forward..
