Vacation rental and business consultancy AJL Atelier and business brokerage and mergers and acquisitions firm Raincatcher have announced their partnership. Their common goal is to support vacation rental professionals who want to optimize the value of their businesses, whether they are looking to grow, buy or sell their vacation rental business.
Consulting, guidance, exit and succession planning, and now financial-hygiene services for US vacation rental companies
With AJL Atelier’s footprint in the vacation rental industry and Raincatcher’s expertise in merger and acquisition advisory services, the partnership will offer vacation rental professionals a 360-degree support system.
“The vacation rental industry is highly fragmented, with fewer professional resources. We want to create value for business owners, advise on best strategic practices and create a solid framework for the industry,” says AJL Founder & CEO Simon Lehmann. “With this partnership, we can offer consulting, guidance, exit and succession planning, and now financial-hygiene services to our clients in the USA. It’s all about building value and not just about an exit.”
“One of the biggest challenges that entrepreneurs face when partnering with advisors is that most will try and force a small business through its sale process with little foresight or care,” says Raincatcher COO Jason Thomas.
“Both Raincatcher and AJL share the belief that small businesses deserve more. We couldn’t be more delighted to bring our skilled experience to the vacation rental industry, much less in partnership with one of its foremost global leaders.”
While today marks the official launch of the AJL Atelier & Raincatcher partnership, the companies have already collaborated with vacation rental business owners to help them optimize their value and plan their exits. Both companies look forward to further servicing the North American vacation rental industry.
