IMAP Ranks No. 4 in Global Middle Market M&A for 2007
January 2008

Results for 2007 show IMAP ranked in fourth place for worldwide deals with a value of up to $50 million (based on volume of completed transactions).

IMAP was listed sixth for completed transactions of up to $100 million worldwide.  In the U.S., IMAP ranked seventh for completed transaction up to $100 million.

“IMAP moved up several notches in 2007 on most of the Thomson league tables”, said Karl Fesenmeyer, IMAP president.  “IMAP transaction advisers had a strong year in 2007 and have a good backlog of projects for 2008.”  The 2007 results demonstrate IMAP’s global coverage in a manner most meaningful to clients, that is, IMAP’s ability to complete M&A transactions.  It was a record year for IMAP offices in 2007.  The outlook for 2008 is strong despite unsettled global capital markets.

IMAP independent member offices collaborate closely with each other and support client projects around the world.  BCC Advisers represents the IMAP organization in Iowa and has recently expanded its operation, locating an office in Nebraska.

“IMAP allows BCC to assure our clients quality adviser coverage wherever buyers and sellers are located,” said BCC president Steve Jacobs.  “As business expands into emerging markets, IMAP is a critical component to BCC’s ability to effectively serve our clients in today’s global markets.”

Jacobs indicated that IMAP’s approach of collaborative support to local office clients was unique to the middle market and fundamental to IMAP’s success in obtaining and closing middle market M&A assignments.
