Rick Taft Email and Phone Number

Over 30 years of experience as an international entrepreneur and business owner. For 20 years I was active in the international toy and games industry. During this time I focused on working with professional inventors and the licensing of intellectual property, building strategic alliances among companies of all sizes all over the world. Since 2002, my focus has turned to lower middle market Mergers & Acquisitions (companies with revenues of $5-20 million). I specialize in working on the "Buy side" helping individuals, or existing business owners who want to grow through acquisition, find and buy small businesses in this $5-20 million revenue range. I do targeted, pro-active searches for clients with special interest in businesses that are never advertised or listed for sale. I also work selectively with business owners to exit from their business by various means, including but not limited to sale to a third party.Specialties: Method for finding unadvertised businesses for sale.Method for training/assisting buyers in the business acquisition process.Creative ways to structure and finance business acquisitions.Method to help business owners plan and exit from existing businesses.
