I founded Versailles Group in 1987 to assist entrepreneurs and public and private companies around the world. My desire was to complete highly successful M&A transactions for niche market companies with less than US$250 million in revenues.
Over the years, some of our clients have been multi-billion dollar revenue companies, typically public companies, but the transactions that we completed for them were the purchase or sale of subsidiaries or divisions with less than US$250 million in revenue.
I’m passionate about completing the best possible M&A transaction for each client. As they say, the “proof is in the pudding” and that’s why after 30 years, Versailles Group has had a number of repeat clients, for example, 3i plc, Europe’s largest technology venture capital firm (3 transactions), Apax Partners (2 transactions), a Canadian family (3 transactions), a corporate executive across two different public companies (4 transactions), etc.
Versailles Group’s staff always works as a team, a fundamental part of our unique ability to complete very successful transactions.
