Our strength lies in our ability to bring highly qualified buyers and sellers to the negotiating table and create innovative custom structures for our clients that ensure transactions are completed successfully.
We identify opportunities to link traditional and new consumer products and retail brands.
As consumer products and retail brands are challenged with economic uncertainty, increased competition, compressed margins, fragmented supply chains and speed-to-market challenges, MMG Advisors is focused on identifying M&A opportunities that will benefit both buyer and seller to maximize long-term value. We offer unique expertise in bridging traditional and new brands in ways that provide legacy businesses with a gateway to new, younger customers, while providing emerging and DTC brands with the infrastructure and resources they need to grow profitably.
We are expert at navigating troubled situations.
MMG Advisors draws on its history of providing restructuring services and performing M&A in highly distressed situations. The global pandemic has hit both the demand and supply sides simultaneously, pressuring companies in complex ways they are not accustomed to dealing with. Having advised clients through past crises, we are able to map out strategic alternatives quickly and decisively. We work alongside our client guiding them toward the most efficient path forward, whether that involves identifying a strategic partner via an out-of-court solution or a formal bankruptcy proceeding.
We bring objectivity to a highly emotional process.
MMG Advisors has significant experience representing family-owned and entrepreneur-led businesses. We manage every aspect of client transactions through closing, bringing unwavering objectivity and integrity to the entire process. As former operators, we’ve been there, and we’re intimately familiar how retail businesses run, from finance and operations to sales and marketing and best practices. Our experience gives us a unique ability to translate complex legal and financial terminology and processes into clear, comprehensible terms for families and entrepreneurs.
We ensure transactions are culturally compatible.
When company cultures don’t align, integrating teams and operations post-acquisition can present severe challenges for buyers and sellers. Our deep relationships with traditional retail and consumer companies, along with our ever-expanding new economy network, enable us to bring together parties whose goals, priorities and business values are complementary, ensuring cultural fit along talent and operational lines.
“Our vision is for Lively to continue to operate independently with our guidance and support and helping each other along the way. There are things we can learn from them and things we can help them with.”
“Wacoal has the utmost respect for the importance of product innovation, of fit, all in the end to make sure their customers feel great and confident, which is exactly what Lively is here to do. It just made sense to partner with a company that saw the world the way we do.”
Testimonials
“MMG was the best choice we could have ever made. They exceeded expectations and really went above and beyond.”
“I think MMG is more realistic about the upside and the downside and they know the industry better. They understand the risk and reward better because they are closer to it.”
“It’s not easy selling a 97-year-old family company. MMG held our hand through the process and really made it as stress-free as possible.
We couldn’t afford to make a mistake and we know that we didn’t.
For that, we have MMG to thank.”
“Selling Sourcing Journal was much more than a business transaction for me, and Allan and Matt knew that. MMG knew that finding the right home would not only provide the infrastructure for Sourcing Journal, but also allow me to take my vision to the next level without sacrificing the brand DNA. They were more than advisors, they were friends, mentors and allies.”
“There is a personal touch, a personal attachment and concern about making sure it’s the right deal and that the deal gets done.”
