LVI Does Much More Than Just Introduce the Parties.

- When LVI is arranging financing, we help clients prepare for the investment, assist in determining what type and how much capital is needed, then locate and introduce just the right prospective lender(s) or investor(s). We then assist in the negotiation and development of a successful relationship. After a financing transaction, LVI is frequently asked to continue its involvement to assure goals are met, results are acceptable and lender and investor expectations are met.

- When LVI is assisting a seller with the sale or divestiture of a company or division, LVI helps determine the most marketable attributes and immediate challenges of the Company and helps the client identify opportunistic improvements. LVI then locates the best buyer prospects based on strategic, financial, geographic and other characteristics. This process produces full value buyers.
