The Situation
WBE Traffic Control was a rapidly growing company and had developed a strong reputation for reliability and service quality. WBE’s owner was ready to take some chips off the table and find a strong capital partner to continue funding the company’s growth.
Our Services
Based on WBE Traffic Control’s objectives, Dinan Capital Advisors suggested a broad marketing process including industry participants and financial buyers. Dinan worked hand-in-hand with WBE to create bespoke marketing materials, highlighting the company’s differentiated market position and key strengths. Dinan supported WBE throughout the full process, identifying potential buyers, soliciting and negotiating offers, efficiently navigating due diligence, and achieving the best possible result for the seller.
Our Results
Dinan’s process uncovered a strategic buyer, Right Traffic, that was drawn to WBE’s resilience, strong cash flows, excellent employee relations, and close connections with utility providers in a new geographic market. Dinan and WBE were able to get this buyer comfortable with the sustainability of what WBE’s owner had built, ultimately resulting in a full-value multiple. Post-close, while WBE’s owner began a transition away from the company, it did not miss a step and outperformed the original projections. The seller reinvested equity into the transaction and is continuing to ride the growth as an owner in a much larger entity.
