IMPLAN Group has been recapitalized by Boathouse Capital

IMPLAN Group has been recapitalized by Boathouse Capital

7 Mile Advisors Acted As Financial Advisor To IMPLAN Group In Its Recapitalization With Boathouse Capital


7 Mile Advisors acted as financial advisor to IMPLAN Group LLC (“IMPLAN Group” or “Company”) on its debt and equity investment from Boathouse Capital (“Boathouse”). The transaction allowed the Company to complete its acquisition of MIG, Inc. and fund future growth initiatives.

MIG, Inc. is the market leading provider of economic data for use in economic impact studies including those used for public policy and corporate decision making. MIG’s flagship product, IMPLAN, was created from a model developed over thirty years ago and spun out to MIG, Inc. in 1999. IMPLAN provides detailed economic activity data for use in regional, state and federal government economic incentive decisions, government agency policy making, investment decision making, corporate relocation analysis and raising consumer and citizen awareness.

Boathouse’s investment allowed several existing members of MIG’s senior management to participate along with new management in capitalizing the Company and acquiring MIG from its founders in a management-led leveraged buyout (MBO). The Boathouse investment will also fund the hiring of new key employees, the deployment of a SaaS technology solution, the development of a new suite of commercialized Business Intelligence products, and a variety of new sales and marketing initiatives designed to accelerate growth.

7 Mile Advisors led the Company through the evaluation of multiple potential investment partners, then assisted IMPLAN Group’s management in structuring and negotiating the investment with Boathouse.

Eric Dana, CFO of IMPLAN Group, said “The 7 Mile team delivered exceptional leadership and guidance throughout the entire transaction, directing us toward an optimal strategic partner and deal structure. They quickly understood our needs, the market space, and the sponsors’ requirements resulting in a very effective and efficient process.  Quite simply, the 7 Mile team became trusted partners for our transaction, and will be our partners in the future.”
