SHEFFORD CAPITAL PARTNERS PROVIDES capital to small companies to enable them to execute Merger & Acquisition strategies. Mergers & Acquisitions are powerful and increasingly important weapons of strategy. In an industry that is restructuring, M&A may be a requirement to maintain competitive scale or may be the only means of survival. If a company's strategy calls for growth, new market entry, or repositioning in the value chain, M&A can be the fastest means of achievement. Strategic acquisitions can create substantial shareholder value, not only in deal implementation but also by catalyzing transformation.
