Achieve Your Growth Goals with Strategic Acquisitions
For many business owners, growth is a mindset, not a fixed objective. And sometimes, the best way to grow is by acquiring other businesses.
Strategic acquisitions based on marketplace analysis provide opportunities to increase revenue and infuse new technology, processes, and people into existing businesses for effective scaling.
Shoreline Partners’ M&A advisors have the experience to effectively identify and analyze acquisition targets and negotiate based on a comprehensive understanding of the marketplace. Clients’ interests always come first, which may mean walking away from a transaction if the fundamentals don’t fit your strategy.
Work with Shoreline Partners to pursue your growth objectives with strategic acquisitions.

Value Proposition
“From the initial stages to closing, Shoreline Partners guided our transaction. They collaborated closely with our attorneys and CPAs, ensuring a seamless process. Their dedication to client success sets them apart, and I highly recommend their services.”
CEO
Leading Personal Emergency Response Technology Company
“Shoreline has been a valuable partner to me in navigating the nuanced process of purchasing and selling. They helped us successfully acquire a company back in 2016 to move into a large market. I highly recommend Shoreline.”
Eric
“After we decided to sell the company, a more important decision remained: who to partner with to manage the sale process? Shoreline proved to be the right choice. All the components of a challenging transaction including confidentiality, offering memorandum, prospective buyers list, direct marketing, ongoing negotiation, and information management were highly professional.”
Richard Ferry
Former owner of Broco Rankin
“Shoreline Partners worked with us to negotiate an agreement that provided us with both a future revenue stream and a pathway to ultimately transition away from the business. Their creative expertise helped overcome a number of potential roadblocks in both the purchase and sale agreement and our employment agreements. Shoreline did a wonderful job for us!”
Jeff
“The Shoreline team provided exceptional service and results in my sale transaction. They were highly responsive and guided me through the complex process, no matter the time of day. Their expertise as skilled negotiators was invaluable in securing a favorable outcome for the deal. I highly recommend the Shoreline Partners team to anyone seeking top-notch investment banking services.”
Sean Vuong
Effecture
“You and Tim deserve our highest regard for your work with us. You did very good work representing our company, plus you hold very high standards of honesty and professionalism. The outcome was a major win in our lives!”
Ron Montbleau
“We had a successful exit of our family owned and operated business thanks to the Shoreline team. From preparation of the Confidential Memorandum, to the presentation of our financials, to management meetings and through due diligence, they went above and beyond to keep us informed, ultimately negotiating a great deal for us. If you are thinking of an exit, I highly recommend Shoreline Partners.”
Matthew Dusa
Former CEO of Capstone Fire Management Inc.
“Shoreline was instrumental in what seemed to be a nearly impossible buy-out of our former partners. Shoreline was clear about what the process would entail and worked hard to get the deal across the finish line. I highly recommend Shoreline.”
Elias Btesh
“We are so lucky to have connected with you and will forever be appreciative for guiding us through this process and leading us to the finish line.”
Jeff Goldberg
CEO and Founder
“Of the people that I interviewed to do what they do, there’s no one who even comes close. I can’t imagine someone doing a better job than what they did for me … I’d highly recommend Shoreline, and I have had the opportunity to recommend them [to others] three or four times now.”
