Our Approach

Whitestone takes a long-term approach to doing business. Whitestone will often know a company for a number of years before it is retained to sell the business and often have a strong relationship with potential buyers before it is retained to help them make acquisitions. Whitestone works with potential clients long before they become clients to help them with important strategic issues and understand key developments in the merger and acquisition marketplace. Whitestone is also glad to provide prospective clients with a complimentary valuation of their business.

As part of its marketing, Whitestone has developed an extensive network of high-level contacts in the publishing, information, Internet and training industries. In its internal database, Whitestone counts more than 15,000 companies and has had personal contact with most of these businesses.

Whitestone provides strategic guidance to clients in helping them achieve their goals. Whitestone develops the best solutions to meet each client's needs and works as a partner with clients to execute their desired strategies.

Whitestone also has an extensive network of relationships with major venture capital and private equity funds as well as lending institutions. Through these relationships, Whitestone can readily source capital for Whitestone clients to make acquisitions and investments.
