Buying your competition or selling your company to competitors is one of the strategies for mergers and acquisitions. In today’s global economy with increased competition, you may not have the time to build a business from the ground up, or you may be feeling the threats of a large competitor in your market place. Knowing your position in your industry will enable you to determine if you should buy or sell.

Understanding the value of a business allows you to negotiate the best price for the deal.  Brownlow Partners will review with you the valuation models relevant to your industry, and provide guidance for negotiating the best price.

Brownlow Partners assists clients in understanding and assessing the value drivers in their business. By focusing on these drivers you can improve the value of your business for an eventual sale. Understanding value drivers also allows you to better evaluate a potential acquisition with which to grow your business.

Working with your acquisition team and your Legal Counsel, we provide comprehensive due diligence services throughout the various stages of the acquisition process. From initial identification of the target business, through the negotiation of the deal, to the closing, our team works with you to assess and mitigate the risks inherent in the target business. All together we work hard to discover and resolve any "surprises" while in the negotiation stages of the deal. You need to be sure that you are receiving the assets for which you are paying, without being concerned about hidden liabilities.

Brownlow Partners understands the variety of strategies available to structure a given deal to your best advantage. This may include the use of a holding company, or moving the land and building out of the operating company, on a tax deferred basis. We work with you and your Lawyer to ensure that the deal is structured in the most tax effective method.
