Transactions, including succession planning, mergers, and divestitures, can produce varied consequences. We deal in outcomes -- results that meet the goals of our clients. We specialize in publishers seeking to:
- evolve a succession-planning strategy,
- obtain a valuation for their business,
- seek capital or recapitalization,
- expand by acquisition and merger, or
- divest selected assets, business units, or the company.
The great variety of publishers and transactions makes it difficult to codify exactly what we would do to help a potential client reach given goals. We therefore encourage publishers considering change to contact us, in confidence, by e-mail to pwadams@consultmoseley.com,
telephone (212) 988-2834 or write
Moseley Associates, Inc.
1202 Lexington Avenue, #356
New York, NY 10028,
to schedule a meeting to discuss needs and assess courses of action.
