Our main focus is to work with your mission-critical individuals and teams (executives, management, sales and/or employee teams) to improve their ability to get results. Our straightforward, common sense approach develops and aligns strategic thinking, people, and processes while minimizing or eliminating the impact of anything that can get in the way. We are successful when your organization has developed the ability to see, think about, and do the things necessary to achieve its desired outcomes both now and in the future.

Exit Maximization: For you who are contemplating exiting from or selling the business at some point, we help you command the maximum return. At Paradigm Associates LLC, we work with you well in advance of actively seeking buyers or beginning a transition. Our expertise helps you objectively examine your strategy, structure, people, and processes. Together we discover areas that minimize lost improvement opportunities and maximize results.

Appropriate tools, techniques, practical tactics, and people development processes help build the overall value before offering the business for sale.

We are advisors to closely held family and investor-owned businesses in the manufacturing, technology, real estate, and healthcare spaces. V&R engagements generally last a year or more and are focused on performance improvement, building stronger partnerships and often a recapitalization, for both divestiture and acquisition. We also work with large, often national, not-for-profits as advisors on their M&A, integrations, and sustainability.

Mike Roth is a Founder and Managing Partner of V&R, a management consulting and M&A advisory firm based in Michigan. Mike Roth, Jeff Vlasic, and their now 7 partners have developed a successful M&A Advisory practice that focuses on advising multigenerational and diversely-owned businesses in the healthcare, technology, property and manufacturing spaces through the complicated growth, marketing, sale and earn out phases of a majority sale or “recap.”

Mike favors challenging situations, where leadership or ownership has differing interests and post-sale plans, where a key advisor (often a CPA, FA or attorney) is interested in staying involved through the M&A process, and/or where simply auctioning to the highest bidder and discarding a legacy are not the ideal outcomes. Sell-side focused, and buy-side friendly, the V&R team seeks true partnerships and permanent, not transactional, relationships.

“A CEO-client said it best ‘I trust V&R. They stand behind our people, deliver sustainable solutions, never take credit, and always offer accountability.’ and I couldn’t say it better myself.” -Mike
