Seize opportunity

Gilman, Pope, Scribner & Robles is recognized as a focused, professional investment banking firm with the primary goal of assisting companies and individuals through the process of acquiring, merging or divesting of private, closely-held enterprises.

At Gilman, Pope, Scribner & Robles, we hold a significantly different perspective as to the role an investment banker should play in the success of our clients.  When establishing our firm, we felt it was important to provide both owners of companies and potential buyers access to the expertise necessary to successfully complete the transactions contemplated without the barriers most common in other firms.

The typical size of the businesses represented by GPSR carries a market value of between $2M and $35M and runs a broad spectrum of industries from manufacturing to distribution to service enterprises to retail chains.  Our experience told us that acquisitions and divestments vary not only in size and complexity but in the participants’ interest and ability to invest the time and effort necessary to maximize their return.  As a result, we offer several different ways of assisting our clients.

For larger and typically more complex cases, GPSR determined the best manner in which to satisfy client needs and maximize their return is to offer our TOTAL SOLUTION SERVICE on a contingency basis.  Unlike the overwhelming majority of firms within our industry, GPSR does not require up-front fees or retainers.

Alternatively, for those cases where owners want to take a lead role in a divestiture, GPSR has established a unique service called SELLER ASSIST.  It provides the key tools and direction needed to sell your business and carries a substantial discount over GPSR’s standard fees.

GPSR also operates a separate division, GP MAIN STREET.  It provides cost-effective sales process services and advice to companies with annual revenue under $1 million.

Finally, because of GPSR’s broad and deep experience we are also able to offer clients a la carte consultancy services on issues such as franchising, capital raising, business planning and marketing to name a few.

 

For more than 25 years, we’ve been working with clients to seize opportunity.
