Many companies have grown by means of acquisitions, but few have done so with such a stringent standard of excellence in their selection process. The companies we seek are the "best of the best", run by dedicated and driven owners who are extremely successful at what they do. Many of them are not even considering the sale of their company. So what motivates these owners to want to become part of our IT Commonwealth™?

The entrepreneurs who run these companies are concerned about the future. They want to maximize their potential but aren't sure how to do it, or are lacking the resources. In today's economy, there is very little likelihood that any small to moderate sized IT service company will be a candidate for a public offering. Lacking a public marketplace for their stock, they can only look to annual earnings as the source of their personal income, which is subject to ordinary taxation. And if they live in one of the higher taxed states, the total tax bite can be very considerable. Despite the success of their business, it is extremely difficult for them to realize any significant payout. These owners are also often beset with the "course of business", involving time consuming and expensive obligations such as legal matters, administration, etc.

An association with a public entity like ours, can remedy many of these areas. We can provide the opportunity for immediate partial liquidity at capital gains rates, and also a method for increased key employee stability through the issuance of stock options. And of course, being part of a larger, more stable organization also provides, among other things, emotional peace of mind.
