Merger route seen as growth path for small firms
New York merger consultant UlVictor Niederhoffer of Niederhoffer Cross Veckhauser notes the era of easy mergers is over yet small companies can grow 15 to 25 percent annually if they secure capital for expansion. He cites tightening money sources since the 1950s and 1960s and says firms increasingly rely on buyers and cash-rich equity to fund growth while many advisory firms have faded. The Niederhoffer firm represents sellers and management seeking to keep leading operations post sale.
