Sell-side
Novistra works closely with entrepreneurs and business owners to help them maximize their shareholder value by conducting a structured exit. We place paramount importance in running a discrete and effective process. Our team understands the journey of an entrepreneur, and the considerations faced by business owners, and we aim to comprehensively guide clients through the process of exiting a venture. Over the years Novistra has built strong relationships with a wide range of strategic and financial buyers in our chosen industries. Sellside clients gain valuable exposure to Novistra’s global networks to identify potential acquirers and achieve strategic exits. 
Buy-side
Novistra provides clients guidance on the best strategies to accomplish inorganic growth, be it through acquisitions directed at expanding product lines, services, gaining a foothold in new geographies, or positioning companies for new opportunities. We partner closely with client management and M&A teams, introducing strategies and acquisition targets that can help create and amplify business synergies, boost top line revenues and reduce costs. While we advise on a client’s immediate growth objectives, we keep our focus on positioning clients to achieve goals and maximize shareholder value over the longer term. 
Growth Capital
Whether the goal is financing organic or inorganic growth plans, or financing a new phase of commercialization, Novistra partners with clients to raise capital from investors that are strategic and complementary to our clients’ business and values. A deep understanding of client needs and our priority industries drives bespoke strategies to identifying equity and debt finance sources which respond to the size of the financing required, the type of transaction, and geographic or regional preferences. Capital raises led by Novistra leverage a depth of experience at every step of the transaction, resulting in a thorough process and ultimately the right investor to help clients advance to the next stage of business goals.
