Facticon

The Company

Facticon, Inc. is a nationwide investigative and surveillance firm.

The Situation

Facticon’s majority shareholder was a private equity firm which had invested in the company at an early stage. In an effort to re-direct capital and to achieve liquidity, the firm decided to explore a sale of the business. In addition, the management team felt that due to Facticon’s growth and expanding marketing presence, it was an appropriate time to consider a sale to a strategic buyer.

The Solution

KPMG Corporate Finance conducted a competitive sale process to find the optimal strategic buyer that would enable Facticon to further its growth as one of the top insurance investigation firms in the U.S. Through the sale process, Facticon’s management team determined that it would be in the best interest of the company to maintain ownership with current management. Certain key members of the management team submitted an offer to compete with the third-party offers, and management was successful in acquiring the company.
