Our clients represent a broad spectrum of the business world, but generally fall into one of the following four categories:

Large Corporations
Many of our corporate clients retain us when they wish to divest a subsidiary or business unit. Having worked with us previously in the position of a potential buyer, these corporations are impressed with our skills and ability, and think of us first when it is time for them to divest.

Companies Headquartered outside of North America
Companies headquartered outside North America retain us to help them find a strategic platform to expand into North America. We develop growth strategies, identify acquisition or alliance partners and negotiate favorable business and financial terms for them.

Kent Group often serves as an in-country corporate development team for companies headquartered outside North America. We can link you with other important advisors including attorneys and accountants and even provide direction when it comes time to hire key executives.

Privately Held Business Owners
Private companies contact us for many reasons. Some owners are interested in retirement, some are looking to reduce the amount of personal guarantee associated with company debt, and some are seeking to align their company with a larger organization having greater access to management and capital resources that can be dedicated to grow the business. As the amount of a client’s personal net worth locked-up in the company grows, the financial consequences resulting from strategic decisions increase in significance.

Private Equity Groups
Kent Group provides what is most important to private equity groups – quality acquisitions and timely, profitable exits. At Kent Group we utilize our extensive contact database to help clients fulfill their investment criteria, build and maintain strong portfolio companies and ultimately maximize the exit value of their investment. Kent Group also links capital providers with management to facilitate management and employee buyouts.
