Third Coast Capital Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to Summit Hosting, a portfolio company of Silver Oak Services Partners, in its acquisition of Handy Networks and Tech Commandos in two separate, and unrelated transactions. Our Acquisition Search services included identifying the targets and making contact with each respective owner, as well as providing assistance on valuation, transaction structure and the negotiation and closing of the transactions. These acquisitions represent great examples of the benefits of direct outreach as these transactions were sourced and closed without an M&A advisor representing the seller.
