Our Firm

"After 600%+ sales growth over 21 years, we had a great company to sell but had limited ideas how. Our cash basis accounting, capitalization policy, and seasonal variations had to be restated in terms a buyer understands. Enter High Rock Partners Kenneth and Buddy who were experienced and skilled in what to do and how to do it. They were also careful to accommodate our needs and concerns for the best personal and business outcome. Kenneth and Buddy competently packaged our company and aggressively conducted a national search that produced multiple prospects in short order. They coolly negotiated  and quickly concluded a successful sale on our behalf. We appreciate and are grateful for their expertise, their friendship and their ability to wed our business with a new owner. We heartily recommend them."

"My decision to engage High Rock Partners, and specifically, Kenneth Marks was absolutely critical to the success of my deal. I involved Kenneth from the start in preparing and presenting the company to M W, including building the financial model that supported the 3 year growth strategy that I developed. Kenneth was invaluable throughout the deal process, helping me to negotiate at every step, regardless of whether it was face to face or during phone conversations. The check I wrote to High Rock Partners at the end of the deal was hand delivered with a smile, knowing that they were worth every penny that I paid them and more, THANK YOU Kenneth! "

"Buddy and Kenneth helped us refine our growth strategy and focus areas. Through their strategy process, they worked with our management and board to gather feedback, develop/prioritize key value-creating initiatives, and build consensus. By the end of the assignment, we had great clarity to act."

"I've closed two corporate sales that relied on Ken's strategic thinking around liquidity, licensing, and deal structure – he’s able to see all sides of the transaction. That ability created confidence in the buyers and the sellers; transforming fear into focused thinking, communication and action which resulted in a win/win liquidity event for our investors. "

"As a privately held company, Mount Olive periodically has requests to assist in providing liquidity for our shareholders. High Rock Partners assisted our financial management team in identifying and evaluating share purchase strategies. Kenneth and Buddy combined their broad business experience with a flexible, tailored approach that allowed our team to achieve its objectives through a cost effective engagement."

"American Support engaged High Rock Partners as strategic and corporate finance advisors to assist in the process of acquiring Evergreen Sales & Marketing. Kenneth Marks and his team helped us understand the likely sources and alternative deal structures, and to prepare our financial outlook in a format that would be understood by the various lending institutions being pursued to finance the acquisition and fund working capital. The High Rock Partners team adapted the analysis to accommodate the requests of the lenders and helped us understand the impact and outcomes of the credit facilities being presented to us; offering real world perspective on what was market and the relative benefits and risks. Once we selected the lending institutions, the High Rock team stayed involved during the due diligence process to provide guidance and support. We enjoy working with High Rock Partners and would highly recommend them. "
