Who we are

Howard Capital Management is a Limited Partnership and Howard Holdings LLC founded by Melvin J. Howard is dedicated to the creation of wealth through partnership and innovation in finance. We believe in developing close relationships with owners so that we are not just an healthcare M&A advisor, but a trusted advisor. As an M&A advisor, we have experience working with privately held businesses, private equity, family office backed companies and publicly traded companies.

 

Whether you’re a seasoned buyer of companies that has merged a number of entities into your own, or you’re looking for a first time investment, Howard Capital Management is the partner you need to achieve success. Acquisition clients come to us in various forms, including those that are looking to buy a competitor in the space, those that have been contacted by another firm indicating they would like to sell and those that aren’t sure where to start, but would like to embark on an investment.

 

When it comes to handling the acquisition of a company, smart entrepreneurs know that you’re in the best position to be successful and close on a transaction if you have the right people backing you during the process. You need a team that understands the marketplace and is aware of trends and targets, solid deal makers that can keep the flow moving and a partner that has a team in place that can manage the entire process from start to finish. Not only can we facilitate the sale of a healthcare business using highly proven methods via a team of highly trained professionals. We’ve been right where you are today. We have been in the healthcare space for over 27 years. So we are in the enviable position to help you build a strategy that best suits your needs.

 

Our strategy has been perfected over time, but generally, and as with everything we do, first we develop a strategic plan. This plan reviews the buying entity, its team, its financial wherewithal as well as its ability to obtain funding or lending. We work directly with the client’s key stakeholders to define a strategy that make sense for the client. That includes, identifying target entity specifics, like company size, market share, industry and synergies. Once the target is well-defined, then an acquisition strategy is put into place and executed, including the search and screening of target companies. Once one or more target companies are identified, then term sheets are developed indicating interest in the acquisition of the company. If the terms are agreed upon by all parties, a definitive agreement is executed and due diligence begins. Once due diligence is complete, the deal is amended to deal with due diligence findings and a closing is set. Following closing, an integration and transition plan is executed upon.
