Mergers & Acquisitions, Business Expansion

One of the most stressful and time consuming aspects of a business venture is the expansion through acquisition of other businesses or competitors, or the sale of the business and succession planning. And often, an expansion into a new location requires extensive planning and financing assistance. Whether our clients are the buyer, the seller or involved in a merger itself, we can assist them in each aspect of the potential transaction, including:

• Determining the value of the company being acquired or sold, both in the valuation of the business venture, or the analysis of a valuation performed by others
• Structuring the transaction to enhance the chances of a successful result
• Maximization of results and cash flows with minimization of tax impacts
• Evaluation of business succession options, including determination of the financial and managerial potential of current employees or family members
• Assistance in enhancing the value of the business venture
• Assistance in negotiating financing terms to enhance the potential for success of the venture, and
• Coordination with the business’ legal and managerial advisors to ensure that the goals of the transaction are accomplished

We strive to ensure that our clients understand what they will face in these types of negotiations, and to assist them through the process by reducing their stress and enhancing the results to their benefit.
