OUR DIFFERENCE
Why Work with ECP Ventures?
We are not your typical Mergers and Acqusition firm
We never pressure clients to sell or accept a specific offer. Our focus is on empowering you to make the fully informed decision that's right for your business and legacy.
We are not fee-driven - our goal is to get you at least 5 offers and help you objectively evaluate each one.
We treat your company as our own, becoming trusted friends and advisors throughout the process.
We are side by side with our clients from day one through all 10 stages of a successful transaction. We befriend our clients and then we have a much higher level of responsibility and accountability than the routine professional level.
Experienced Dealmakers, Dedicated Advocates
We conduct extensive due diligence to ensure we only represent premium, high-integrity businesses. We only accept clients that we can take to market with pride, dignity, confidence and at least a 90% probability of success.
Unlike many brokers, we will never indenture you with unethical terms like long tails or minimum fees. We will protect your interests instead of ours.
With over 30 years of combined M&A expertise, we know how to maximize value and guide you through complex transactions.
A Values-Driven Approach
As a Christian firm, we operate with unwavering integrity, honesty, and a "servant heart" mentality.
We strive to create win-win outcomes, respecting both buyers and sellers in every deal.
Our mission is to help you preserve your legacy and ensure your employees and customers are well cared for.
