About UsPaley Dixon, Inc. is a buy-side mergers & acquisitions advisor founded in 1979. Our clients are domestic and foreign private equity groups, hedge funds, and strategic acquirers. They engage us to find acquisition opportunities according to their specific investment needs.
Client interests range across a broad spectrum of industries. Their investment types include growth capital, buyouts, recapitalizations, corporate acquisitions, divestitures, minority positions, and privatization of publicly held companies. Investment size varies from $5 million to $5 billion.
Unlike investment banks and brokers that troll for listings, seeking businesses to represent and market, we contact a company on behalf of a single buyer specifically interested in their business. Although we represent our client, we serve the company's shareholders by bringing them a qualified and highly motivated buyer enabling them to obtain an optimum deal.
Through partnerships with well-established business development advisors and investors in China, we also assist clients with sourcing, negotiations, due diligence, and closings in China.

A No-Cost and Confidential Alternative
to an Investment Bank
For owners or management considering a sale, or privatization of their public company, Paley Dixon offers an effective, no-cost and confidential alternative to retaining an investment bank.
As investment banks generally seek businesses to market through an auction process, competitors, vendors, customers and employees can quickly discover that a business is for sale, or that management is looking to privatize. This can negatively impact the business, especially if the auction is unsuccessful.
Furthermore, many qualified buyers are averse to participating in auctions. They prefer not to spend the time, money and effort to complete the due diligence necessary to submit an appropriate bid, only to find theirs was not the winning proposal. Without the consequences of an auction, we bring to the table a single motivated buyer willing to pay fair market value for a controlling or minority stake in the business.
From our roster of qualified clients, we select a buyer that can best take a business to the next level through a mutually beneficial partnership, or forge a successful transition for a 100% buy-out. With a Confidentiality Agreement in place, only those authorized are aware of the proposed transaction.
And unlike an investment bank, we are paid by our buyers, and do not look to owners or management for any compensation whatsoever.
