Sectors

At Anchor Peabody, our transaction teams are part of the fabric of the building industry, offering our clients the deepest knowledge in the sectors we represent. According to our data – an investment banking firm with an industry focus who runs a sophisticated process produces 1.0x to 2.0x more in valuation, on average, plus better transaction structure, and terms. Other investment banks who take a generalist approach to investment banking just don’t have the time to focus on what truly drives value in a transaction – industry knowledge, or are sometimes just as interested in helping buyers as they are sellers. In other cases, business brokers who claim to have the industry knowledge are too unsophisticated to challenge and attain “what’s possible” in a transaction. At Anchor Peabody, our clients get the sophistication of a Wall St. investment bank and a team armed with granular industry information who has its interests completely aligned with yours.
