What We Do
Improved Business Results
The Equity Revitalization™ process can be explained in simple terms. United Cutwater brings strategic and financial resources to grow companies to their optimum acquisition-attractive value and then implements a seamless exit at values unattainable through traditional methods.
How We Do It
4 Pillars of Engagement
Enterprise Value Growth
After 57 years of growing successful companies, United Cutwater brings together operational performance and investment banking expertise to orchestrate strategic exits through performance solutions that revitalize equity and build monetizable exit value.
Financial Resources
We bring growth capital when needed to implement the optimal exit strategy. We do not engage unless there is significant upside for both parties. If the principals of the business are looking for an immediate exit, we may acquire the business or coordinate with our investment banking specialists to exit at the appropriate value.
Performance Solutions
To achieve an optimal exit value, businesses need to grow and improve into an acquisition-attractive company. At United Cutwater, we identify key components and objectives from 39 metrics of our UCVA™. We then bring sector-specific subject matter experts to achieve those objectives over an 18-36 month process and bring the business to its acquisition-attractive pinnacle from the perspective of the acquiring entity, we call this the optimum value. From there, we seamlessly implement the exit and complete the Merger Precision™
Exit Strategy Implementation
We are quite unique in the way that we start with the end in mind. We develop and reverse engineer an optimal exit strategy prior to beginning each engagement. Our proprietary system is customized for each entity and includes a variety of key strategic partners, including specialized investment banking, to ensure that the optimal exit is realized.
United Cutwater Value Algorithm™
Our Philosophy
United Cutwater’s philosophy is to find ways to improve not only financial sustainability of businesses we engage across the U.S., but also the ultimate value created for their principals. We strengthen companies where the merged entity is stronger than the sum of the individual parts. We believe that two companies should only come together with a clear and unified vision wrapped in a healthy culture. We work diligently to improve not only the growth performance, but also the synergy for both entities. Our diligent focus, before and after the transaction, ensures a sustainable and industry-leading entity, with an optimized enterprise value well into the future.
