Kratos Capital - M&A Advisory Firm - Dallas, Texas

I have known the Kratos Capital team for over a decade, and they are as high quality as I have seen in the M&A industry. Having owned seven businesses over 25 years, I can attest to Josh's knowledge of valuations and skills with regard to getting a transaction done right.

Probably the most important item when it comes to a liquidity event is full trust and transparency in the partner you choose to execute with. Kratos is honest and communicative. You get real answers to the tough questions. That has been important to me, and should be important for anyone looking to exit their business successfully.

Kratos Capital - M&A Advisory Firm

DALLAS, TX—Mid-market mergers and acquisitions advisory firm Kratos Capital, is pleased to announce its client Meheen Manufacturing, a Washington state based craft beer capital equipment manufacturer, completes deal with Evolve Capital.

Meheen Manufacturing founder and President Dave Meheen spent more than five years searching for a mergers and acquisitions firm to help sell his manufacturing company. But he said the search concluded when he found Kratos Capital and met its Senior Managing Director Josh Bammel. After the first meeting with Bammel, Meheen said he knew that Kratos was the firm to manage this critical transition of his specialty manufacturing business.

“We’re a very complex and steadily growing company operating in multiple domestic and global markets,” said Meheen. Kratos understood this was a niche business and as such it required a specialized marketing approach. The first and most critical step for the Kratos team was pulling up chairs and sitting down next to Meheen Manufacturing’s most important and valuable resources—its people.

“This deal was in a rapidly maturing market,” said Bammel. “The raw analytics on this deal weren’t readily available; therefore we really had to build a new marketing footprint for Dave.”

Kratos deal team were able to use the firms unique mergers and acquisition process and deal-making experience to develop a customized marketing plan that brought more potential buyers to the table than Meheen said he could have imagined.

Bammel attributes the success of the Meheen acquisition to his team. “They performed at a level rarely seen in the investment banking arena. Their energy, focus and diligence led to maximum liquidity for our client. To have this deal done in seven months from start to finish clearly speaks to our comprehensive exit process.” Kratos built a market of well over 150 buyers in this unique space, before Meheen settled on Evolve.

Bammel’s knowledge of the mergers and acquisitions process was critical to finding the right partner, said Meheen. “They truly did the heavy lifting and allowed me to focus on my company. I am convinced that my deal couldn’t have been done without Kratos.”

Kratos Capital is an innovative mergers and acquisitions firm headquartered in Dallas that provides mergers, acquisitions, strategic growth advisory services, and opinion services for privately held and family-owned businesses to exit their businesses rapidly with maximum liquidity. The firm serves clients from two North American offices and locations in Canada and Brazil.

I have never dealt with this company; however, they do sure seem to like to email me a lot regarding my business. The same message over and over. They are also violating the CAN-SPAM act because they do not provide a means of being removed from their email lists. Technically, there is an unsubscribe link, but it leads to nothing.
