What people say about Bracken Lane:

Gene Humpfrey – CEO and Owner, International Test Solutions, Inc.

Shiau Yen Chin-Dennis, Corporate/M&A Portland Office Managing Partner, K&L Gates LLP

Shiau Yen Chin-Dennis, Corporate/M&A Portland Office Managing Partner, K&L Gates LLP

  “Chad and Brad (Bracken Lane) advised my partner and me in the sale of our company. Our products are very technical and they did a good job creating marketing materials that fully explained the business and articulated our vision and growth strategy. Their full process resulted in an all-cash transaction with a large public company at a value of $125 million, which was above the range they estimated when we hired them. As part of the transaction, my partner and I were able fully retire within a few months of closing, without any earn-out or contingent payments to worry about.”

Shiau Yen Chin-Dennis, Corporate/M&A Portland Office Managing Partner, K&L Gates LLP

  “My firm and I have collaborated with Bracken Lane (Chad and Brad) on several successful “sell-side” transactions.  We have observed that their approach of spending the time needed to fully develop and explain “the story”, through high quality marketing materials, helps create significant interest from Strategic Buyers and Private Equity Buyers.  While their clients may be smaller Middle Market companies in size, Bracken Lane’s personal engagement with their clients and their process execution and expertise are as good as you would experience at Middle Market investment banks.”

Caleb Pilling – Partner, Geffen Mesher

Shiau Yen Chin-Dennis, Corporate/M&A Portland Office Managing Partner, K&L Gates LLP

Travis Sydow – Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Paragon BioTeck, Inc.

  “My team has worked with Chad and Brad on multiple transactions. From an accountant’s perspective, it is refreshing to see their approach of placing such a strong emphasis on developing accurate historical financial statements prior to launching a sell-side process.  By utilizing either a Quality of Earnings report, or third-party accounting work as a foundation, we have seen them able to generate credibility with buyers on the forward looking financial projections.”

Travis Sydow – Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Paragon BioTeck, Inc.

“We were introduced to Bracken Lane Partners when our company owner became interested in a liquidity event.  After learning more about Paragon BioTeck and the situation, Bracken Lane concluded that our company would receive strong interest from both strategic buyers, and private equity firms.  As part of the strategy, Bracken Lane recommended that once the CIM (marketing materials) was completed, they should “check-in” with the largest strategic player in our industry (Bausch and Lomb), to see if they would have an interest in “shutting down” our auction process.  There was strong interest and we ended up selling the company to Bausch and Lomb in an all cash transaction without any earn-outs or seller supported financing.”

Karissa Aleskus – President, IRC Consulting, LLC (Fractional CFO)

  “I had the opportunity to work with Bracken Lane and provided accounting support to one of their clients who was going through a transaction process. Bracken Lane proactively worked with the management team (and me) to identify areas of prospective investor financial diligence, and brainstormed solutions to best address the questions. Their effectiveness in prioritizing requests from the investor/buyer saved everyone a lot of time and kept the management team focused on running the company.”

Brian Bastedo – Partner, Rock Island Capital

Travis Sydow – Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Paragon BioTeck, Inc.

Karissa Aleskus – President, IRC Consulting, LLC (Fractional CFO)

 “Our firm had a tremendous experience with Bracken Lane Partners when we made an investment in one of their clients.  They were collaborative and easy to work with, allowing for us to close and fund the transaction 60 days after signing a Letter of Intent.”
