“If you
can’t beat them, join them.”
Buying
your competition or selling out to your competition 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. We will review with you the valuation models relevant
to your industry and assist you in negotiating the best price.
We
assist clients in understanding the value drivers in their business.
By focusing on these drivers you can improve the value of your business
for an eventual sale. Understanding the value drivers also allows
you to better evaluate a potential purchase to grow your business.
We provide due diligence services for all business purchases to
ensure that you do not have to deal with any surprises. You need
to be sure that you are receiving the assets for which you are paying
without the concern of hidden items.
We
understand the different strategies available to structure the 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.
