Goldmark Advisers, Inc. is an investment banking and corporate development firm that assists domestic and international companies in enhancing and growing their businesses through acquisitions, divestitures and financial restructuring. In addition, we advise companies on public and private financing. Our firm is unique in that it is comprised of principals with corporate senior manager backgrounds who have experienced the corporate development process from the client's point of view.



Since our inception in 1985, Goldmark has completed over 75 transactions with an aggregate value of over $500 million. We serve a variety of industries and have a special understanding of and experience with the publishing, communications and online sectors. We provide a wide range of advisory services, usually on a retainer and transaction fee basis, including:



    * Mergers & Acquisitions
    * Divestitures
    * Corporate Development Planning
    * Leveraged Buyouts
    * Debt & Equity Financing*
    * Restructuring
    * Business Valuations



At Goldmark, we strive to understand the qualitative aspects, as well as the "hard numbers," of a business. Our consultative investment banking process is client-centered, using methods which are sophisticated, creative and sometimes unusual.



This special, hands-on planning and corporate development experience helps our clients in several specific ways. Acquirers we represent benefit from the business and operating skills of our principals in uncovering and evaluating strategically-sound acquisition opportunities. 



Our objectives are to utilize our comprehensive knowledge and informed judgment to reduce the chance of a strategic mismatch - a common cause of failed corporate development programs. For sellers of businesses, our goal is to find strategic, rather than purely financial buyers. This approach can result in better prices for sellers and increase their likelihood of completing earnouts and other long-term or contingent payment arrangements. In financing projects, we are committed to matching client needs with the right type of financing from the right source.



Through our domestic and international network, we arrange access to accomplished and well-connected people, related companies, financial resources and technical and professional experts in the industries that we serve.
