Description
ASA Ventures Group is an investment banking and mergers & acquisitions advisory firm based in Englewood, Colorado that helps owners of privately held businesses — especially in healthcare, technology, staffing, manufacturing, and services — prepare for and execute strategic transactions such as business sales or growth partnerships. Rather than acting as a traditional venture capital firm, ASA guides companies through valuation, buyer outreach, negotiation, and closing processes to achieve optimal transaction outcomes.

• Founders looking to optimize valuation, secure buyers, or navigate complex exit processes.

Buyer Pool Development: The firm builds and vets a targeted buyer pool to solicit competitive offers.
Negotiation: ASA advises on negotiations, terms, and structuring offers to align with the owner’s goals.
Closing: Works with legal and financial professionals to finalize the transaction and support transition planning.
