Why More A/E/C Firms Are Considering Mergers or Acquisitions

•  More A/E/C firms are using M&A to expand their markets into new geographic areas, new client types or new practice areas – more quickly and cost-effectively than with organic expansion.
•  Many mid-size firms are finding it harder to remain competitive at their current size and are seeking acquisitions to increase their revenues.
•  Many baby-boomers who own A/E/C firms are searching for a viable exit strategy as they look ahead toward retirement
•  Firms that have the opportunity to expand, but are limited by the inability to hire qualified staff, are acquiring other firms to gain access to their key staff

PSMJ’s M&A Philosophy

Many consultants engaged in M&A activities are focused on “doing deals.” Whether these deals turn out to be successful is of little concern because they have already pocketed their fees.

PSMJ’s philosophy is very different. Because PSMJ provides a broad range of services and products to the A/E/C industry, we can’t afford to have dissatisfied clients. So we aren’t just about “doing deals,” we’re all about creating “happy marriages” between buyers and sellers. So if you select PSMJ to assist your firm, you can be assured that we will bring you only those opportunities that we believe will result in a successful merger or acquisition.

PSMJ’s Free (and Totally Confidential) M&A Listing Service

Are you interested in pursuing a merger or acquisition but don’t want to go through the time and expense of conducting a formal search? If so, you should sign up for PSMJ’s free M&A listing service. Here’s how it works:

1. We'll use your contact information to send you a confidentiality agreement which will provide PSMJ's guarantee that your identity is safe until you authorize us to release it to another party.
2. As additional firms place their listings with us, we will continuously "mine" the data for potential matches between buyers and sellers (we know how to do this better than anyone).
3. When we identify a potential match, we will contact the firm (seller first), facilitate the exchange of confidentiality agreements between the buyer and seller and make an introduction.
4. Where the process goes after that is up to you.  And certainly we'll stand by you.  If you like, providing our support, advice, and expertise.
