ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE SERVICES
 

What we do

 

Devoto and Company, Inc. is a professional firm specializing in two business sectors. We provide guidance regarding the acquisition and divestiture by British companies of closely-held companies in the United States and the United Kingdom in the $5 million to $120 million price range. We also assist principals and owners of closely-held U.S. firms who wish to dispose of their interests with confidentiality and discretion while maximizing realized value in the process. Expertise and experience gained over nearly 48 years of dealing with families and other principals of closely-held firms has given Devoto and Company, Inc. a wealth of knowledge and sensitivity in constructing transactions that maintain the continuity and performance of these companies post acquisition.

 

Where we are
 

The firm works from offices in London and Atlanta, Georgia, and is active in Europe, Canada, South and Central America and throughout the United States.
 

What we charge
 

Devoto and Company, Inc. makes no charge for any of its services unless an acquisition or divestiture is successfully consummated. We are reimbursed by the client for preapproved expenses incurred during the transaction process.
