Pratt & Little River Recycling

Pratt is a Massachusetts waste-hauling and recycling business. The acquisition encompassed the stock of Pratt & Co., Inc., Little River Recycling, Inc. and Little River Recycling Realty, Inc. The acquirer was Waste Connections of Massachusetts, Inc.

ThirdSide’s assignment brought valuation and negotiation support to a seller already speaking with prospective buyers. Our work included establishing a data room as part of the transaction process.

The engagement is an example of strategic advisory alongside a sale: helping an owner examine the business and work through a transaction when buyer conversations are already underway.

• Valuation work to inform the seller’s consideration of the business.
• Support with negotiation as the seller worked through buyer discussions.
• A data room to organize information for the process.
• Advisory involvement in the sale to Waste Connections (WCN).

The right scope of advice depends on where a business owner is starting. An existing buyer conversation can still leave questions about value, terms and how to coordinate the work ahead.

You do not need to start a new search to have a useful conversation with an advisor. If a buyer has approached you—or you have already begun discussions—start with what has been proposed, what information has been shared and which decisions remain open.

We can discuss where transaction advice would be useful and how it should fit alongside your attorney, accountant and other advisors.
