Strategic Acquisition:


Organic growth takes time

We are dedicated to helping IT business owners discover and consummate aggregation opportunities with well matched candidate companies, while supporting the evolution of intrinsic growth strategies, in order to significantly increase net cash generation and the enterprise value of their combined companies faster and more effectively than via organic growth alone.

Strategic acquisition of a complimentary IT firm can deliver large-scale customer acquisition that far exceeds the normal capabilities of natural growth. It can also enable rapid expansion of the talent pool and service portfolio while stimulating operational refinement, among many other benefits.

Many organizations are intrigued by the possibilities of growth by combination but never pursue the strategy for fear of losing focus on their business, or they do so and have only limited success, or even a bad experience, because they often fail to uncover operational synergies, or pre-plan integration in advance of making the deal. In fact, acquisition activity can become all-consuming if you don’t have a purpose built, experienced team in place to make it successful.

Cogent Growth Partners’ mission is to execute strategic growth transactions while allowing our clients to stay focused on their core business. Cogent’s experts take the lead on all aspects of the acquisition and integration process. Our clients have the final say, but we do most if not all of the heavy lifting.

The Cogent team handles the bulk of the work, in cooperation with you and your team, which helps you focus on accomplishing current goals and objectives without compromising levels of service, efficiency or profitability; because you and your staff are free to run your business while we handle your corporate development.
