Our M&A Process
We put our people first. We create a true culture of ownership by giving every partner and their employees who join ITSA equity in the platform through our M&A Process.
We Structure Our Deals to Cater to You
All our deals are structured to cater to you. We get connected and you tell us about your needs. We figure out the best deal structure for you and we issue a Letter of Intent (LOI) to you.
Once terms in the LOI are finalized, we proceed to diligence the business, perform a quality of earnings analysis on your accounts, and issue closing documents to acquire a majority stake of your business with your equity rolling into the ITSA platform level.
Post acquisition we issue ITSA stock to you through your rolled equity and to your employees through our Broad Based Employee Ownership Plan (BBEOP).
We integrate your business into the ITSA platform and absorb all the back-end functions.
As ITSA grows through both organic and inorganic means, you and your employee stock value grows. We all win together.
