Public size / criteria information

What should a business owner evaluate before hiring ROTH Capital Partners, LLC?

Owners evaluating ROTH can compare the firm’s disclosed M&A advisory services and growth-company sector coverage with the experience required for their situation. The public transaction archive includes a majority sale, an agreed acquisition and an M&A transaction, but the archive does not consistently disclose consideration, buyer identity or transaction value for every M&A advisory assignment.

ROTH’s investment-banking page also does not publish standardized advisory fees, minimum engagement size, success-fee percentages or termination and tail provisions. An owner should therefore request comparable completed transactions, the proposed senior team, the anticipated buyer universe and outreach process, conflict procedures, valuation methodology and the engagement’s fee and expense terms.[3][4][6]
