Matador launched its M&A advisory practice to support owners and operators evaluating the sale or transition of their businesses. Through our industrial real estate investment platform, we work directly with business owners across food and beverage, agriculture, manufacturing, fabrication, logistics, and industrial services. Many of these owners operate from real estate they also own or control, creating a unique opportunity to evaluate both the operating company and the underlying property as part of a transaction. Rather than running high-volume processes focused on speed and transaction count, Matador takes a thoughtful, disciplined approach centered on preparation, buyer alignment, and transaction structures designed to create the right outcome for both sides.
Selling a business is often the most significant financial transaction an owner will ever undertake. The advisor guiding that process matters.
Matador advises privately held businesses as they evaluate strategic transactions, ownership transitions, and growth opportunities. Typical companies we advise include:
Our clients are typically owners who have spent decades building their companies and want a disciplined, well-managed transaction process.
We work best with owners who value preparation, transparency, and buyer alignment over running a rushed auction.
Full sale of the business to a strategic buyer or private equity firm. Clean exit, maximized value.
Partial sale allowing founders to take liquidity while maintaining equity ownership and future upside.
Sale to an industry buyer seeking operational integration, geographic expansion, or product portfolio growth.
Minority or majority investment from a financial partner to support expansion and scale.
Coordinated transactions involving both industrial real estate and the operating business on the site.
Matador runs a disciplined process designed to maximize value and ensure the right buyer.
Review financials, operations, and growth profile to determine transaction readiness and positioning strategy.
Develop positioning materials, financial normalization, and a targeted buyer strategy tailored to the business.
Approach a curated group of strategic and financial buyers with demonstrated sector expertise and cultural fit.
Manage negotiations, coordinate diligence, and guide the transaction through closing with full founder support.
Matador is led by individuals who have owned, scaled, and sold businesses themselves. We understand how companies operate day to day, not just how transactions are structured. This perspective helps us think through the practical realities behind a sale and what actually matters.
Matador focuses on sectors where founder-led businesses are common, including food and beverage, agriculture, manufacturing, fabrication, logistics, and industrial services. This focus helps us identify buyers who understand the business, the industry, and its true value.
Many owners operate their businesses from facilities they also own. Because Matador invests in industrial real estate, we understand how to evaluate transactions involving both the operating company and the underlying property. We help owners think through how each asset can be structured to create the best outcome.
Matador does not run high-volume transaction processes. We focus on preparing businesses properly, identifying the right buyers, and structuring transactions thoughtfully. For founders who have spent decades building a company, the right outcome matters more than the fastest outcome.
