Topsail Capital Advisors served as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Axis Transport, guiding ownership through the entire transaction process—from initial market valuation and exit planning to marketing and a successful close.
Mark Griffin, Managing Principal of Topsail Capital Advisors, commented:
“Topsail Capital Advisors was proud to represent another owner of a privately held, mid-sized company as they prepared for their exit and ultimately achieved the best possible outcome. This transaction is a prime example of the value of proactive owner exit planning. This is one of many Logistics and Transportation companies Topsail Capital Advisors have advised on over the past two years.
We encourage all private business owners regardless of sector to begin planning their exit at least a year in advance. Our exit planning process goes well beyond valuation—it ensures both the owner and the business are fully prepared for a successful transition. By identifying and addressing potential issues early, we help reduce the risk of deal disruption during due diligence while protecting enterprise value.
Whether an owner is planning to exit this year or several years from now, it is never too early to plan for one of the most important financial events of their life. You only have one opportunity to exit your business—make sure you are working with a qualified M&A advisory firm.”
