AUSTIN, Texas - s4story -- Calder Capital, a nationwide mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of a majority interest in KDR Services, LLC of Austin, Texas, by Big Rock Holdings.

Big Rock Holdings is a privately held investment company. Big Rock Holdings engaged Calder Capital's Buy-Side team to identify a services company with management in place, located in select states within the Central U.S.A.

Jim Oren of Calder Capital served as the Lead Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor to Big Rock Holdings. Serving as Lead Director was Parker Schaap and the Lead Associate was Collin Hicks of Calder Capital.

Calder's Buy-Side team generated 22 off-market seller introductions, leading to three client pursuits and one offer, resulting in the successful acquisition of a majority stake in KDR Services.

In Big Rock Holding's statement, they noted "Collin and the Calder team were responsive, straightforward, and genuinely invested in finding a great outcome for Big Rock Holdings. Throughout the qualification process, they kept both sides moving, told us the truth even when it wasn't what we wanted to hear, and got us to a close that everyone feels good about. We'd work with them again tomorrow."

Jahns, Sr. spoke of Calder Capital saying, "Since first being contacted by Collin Hicks with Calder Capital, the process has been direct and simple. An initial introduction to Dustin with Big Rock Holdings was made to explain the process along with what would be expected from both parties if the acquisition was to go through.  Calder Capital has been very accommodating in this process in answering any questions I had as well as providing prompt/professional direction as to what was needed from KDR Services for every step from start to finish.  Over the past couple of years I have been contacted by several other companies regarding a possible acquisition and highly recommend Calder Capital."
