"The chemical industry has been under tremendous pressure from industry consolidation, global competitors, as well as raw material cost and availability pressures. Acclaro helped us to define and set the tone for our new direction,” noted the president of this large Northeastern logistics, transportation and warehousing company. “Acclaro recommended an acquisition strategy that we are continuing to implement: we are looking for good strategic fit as we evaluate companies.”President, Chemical Distribution Company
“What we really like about working with Acclaro Growth Partners is the level of interaction and collaboration they bring to a project. They do a great job keeping us informed of their progress and, more importantly, adjusting their scope as they move through an assignment. The process is very interactive from the initial new project call through delivery of their final report as they incorporate what’s being learned along the way. They really take a client-oriented approach, seeking answers as if their own money was going to be at risk.” Principal, Illinois-Based Private Equity Firm
“Acclaro Growth Partners were key in developing our new business plan. The extensive research on our marketplace they did was essential in uncovering both entry barriers as well as terrific opportunities that we had not identified. They helped us focus on the strategic alternatives that would be important in developing this new market. The action plan with the key implementation responsibilities helped us to focus our internal teams on issues that increased our market share and profits." CEO, Washington D.C.-based professional services firm
“What we really like about working with Acclaro Growth Partners is the action-ability of the findings; they are not just producing research reports! The due diligence projects include a 100-day action plan for management. It is a short list of 8 to 10 items that management should consider doing differently. This list crystallizes the entire report for us down to very specific action items that we can discuss with management. That first discussion about strategic direction for the Company benefits tremendously from Acclaro’s work. We recommend them highly.” Co-Managing Partner, New York-based Private Equity Firm
