Paddock Capital Markets - Buyside M&A Expertise for Search Funds

Searchfunder Community -

I am pleased to announce the creation of Paddock Capital Markets (paddockcapitalmarkets.com)! We are a lower middle market investment bank aiming to help search funds with the evaluation and due diligence of potential targets as well as helping to structure, negotiate and close deals. We are working with one search fund now and have assisted with valuation, contract negotiation, writing LOIs, and deal structuring. We also help companies backed by search funds achieve liquidity events through our sellside M&A capabilities.

We are flexible with how we engage (particularly given the tight budgets that search funds often operate under), and can find a fee structure that works for any situation -- as an example, we could defer cash payments in exchange for small equity stakes in the ultimate businesses that are acquired.

If this is of interested, send me a DM and we'll see how we can help! Also happy to provide references as needed, or chat more about our experience.
