Marathon Capital Advisors

Wyomissing, Pennsylvania

VR Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) is a boutique firm serving small and mid-sized privately-held companies. VR located in Wyomissing was established in 2006 and is led by Raymond Melcher Jr., a former bank CEO. We are professionals experienced in all aspects of M&A transactions including marketing, negotiating, structuring, financing and transition planning. We seek to build long-term relationships with our clients that often begin well before they are ready to sell a business and long after the transaction has been closed. This relationship approach enables us to provide the best advice for our clients, which encompasses working with clients’ financial and legal advisors to ensure that when it is time for a transaction, we negotiate the financial and non-financial issues to produce the best possible results for our clients.
Services Offered
The skill mix Marathon brings to the table allows us to represent sellers every step of the process from understanding the options open to them and the realistic market value of their business to positioning their business for the best return to structuring financing and facilitating the final transaction.
Marathon also represents buyers interested in acquiring businesses that meet their plans to expand or add capacity and services.
The expertise can also coach businesses through a transition, whether from one generation to another or other interested parties.
