When representing a seller, Calder stands out by implementing automated communications via a sophisticated CRM, allowing consistent, robust outreach to potential buyers while recognizing that the majority will not pursue a given opportunity. This technology-driven approach sustains aggressive marketing, reduces team burnout, and supports Calder’s continued scaling. Contrastingly, our competitors limit their go-to-market strategy to a preselected list of buyers—an approach often touted as a confidentiality safeguard that obscures their inability to handle extensive, focused buyer interest. We have a question for the competition: How does restricting the buyer pool benefit the seller, when a broader market consistently yields better outcomes?

About us
Calder Capital, LLC is a lower middle market M&A Advisory Firm focused on representing sellers of industrial, distribution, and business services companies with enterprise value from $1MM-$250MM; and strategic buyers seeking platform and bolt-on acquisitions in the same market segments. Our core focus is to bring the market to our clients. For seller clients, this means confidential and aggressive marketing to attract significant interest from qualified buyers. We are focused on administrative automation and streamlined processes to maximize competitive offers. For buyer clients, we use the same focused, aggressive, and smart automation and outreach to maximize the number of off-market sellers that are introduced to our clients. The results are clear; year-over-year growth and record-breaking progress in transactions closed and satisfied clients. Calder offers a very fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment where the learning and growth of our staff and associates are prioritized, and the truth is expected. Learning and growth are not a one-way street, however. Staff is expected to critically think, solve problems, and think on their feet. The truth and abiding by a code of ethics are of preeminent importance. Our team feels compelled to make difference, to impact prospects, clients, and Calder's business positively, even if that means periodic discomfort.
