A $21 million family-owned agricultural equipment manufacturing business in Georgia retained Wyatt Matas & Associates as advisors to identify strategic alternatives that would allow the family patriarchs to realize a cash-out event, while the youngest operating family member would remain with the company as the CEO. Wyatt Matas & Associates identified four private equity groups that would work within the structure the owners devised, allowing the private equity group that represented the best cultural fit to acquire the company. Wyatt Matas & Associates remains a strategic advisor both to the CEO and the acquiring private equity group.
