Alex Moretsky2023.05.14. I recently worked with Carol Shin on the sale of a business in Philadelphia, PA. It involved the sale and financing of the business and real estate, making it a complicated transaction. Carol was extremely effective in getting the deal to close. We worked closely together and she was hands on the entire time and always responsive. As a business attorney, I strongly recommend Carol. She is an excellent business broker.

Carol Shin sold my real estate appraisal business in June of 2022. Carol is a seasoned professional, who helped me set the price and brought a steady stream of buyers for me to consider. She helped me select the right buyer, and we got to closing above my asking price. I would recommend Carol to anyone seeking to sell their business. Michael Birrittella2023.05.02.

Joseph Sanfilippo2023.05.02. We recently sold our title search business to an outstanding entity, Action Title Research, and Carol Shin spearheaded the transaction with integrity and professionalism as my M&A advisor. Her ability to carefully research and assess value, filter prospective purchasers, put compatible parties together and serve in an unparalleled advisory capacity was instrumental in the consummation of the transaction. Carol is an expert in her field of business sales and I highly recommend her to anyone contemplating the sale of a business. Greg Wiszniewski2023.05.01. To say it quick . Carol will sell your business. She sold mine and I ended up very happy . It was professionally handled from the first moment to the last . One thing that makes a different from all other brokers is that she will not push you to anything and she will always keep your side .

Understanding the Role of M&A INTERMEDIARY in Business Sales and Mergers
If you’re a business owner, you may have reached a point where you’re ready to sell your company or consider buying a company. However, figuring out the next steps can be challenging. This is where mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisors come in.
What Are Mergers and Acquisitions?
Mergers and acquisitions refer to various ways of transferring ownership of a business. In a merger, two companies combine to become a new entity, while in an acquisition, a more prominent company buys another company, and the latter’s assets become part of the buying company.
Why Do You Need an M&A advisor?
When it comes to selling your business or considering a merger, it’s essential to have a professional who can guide you through the process. A good M&A advisor can help you connect with potential buyers and ensure that you’re adequately compensated for the sale. They have the network and expertise to navigate the market, approach the right people, and get you the best deal possible.
TYPES OF MERGERS
Two primary types of mergers are horizontal and vertical.
- A horizontal merger occurs when two competitors merge to become a leading entity in their industry.
- In contrast, a vertical merger occurs when two companies merge, and one supplies products or services to the other.
M&A advisors can assist in the transaction to ensure everything flows smoothly and the businesses are better off after the deal.
Acquiring a Business
If you’re interested in acquiring a business, M&A advisors can also help you find the right company to purchase. They have relationships with banks and other financial institutions to help you secure financing, and their expertise can ensure a seamless transaction.
Industry Experience
At Aria Business Advisors, we have small and mid-market M&A experience in various industries, including tech, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and distribution. We understand what middle-market business owners are looking for in a target company and can maximize your price through the right M&A deal.
