Business Valuation
Objective valuation can make the difference between loss or gain, success or failure. You need professionals who are well qualified, with significant experience in evaluating all types of organizations.
Financial Due Diligence
Buying a company? Selling some Assets? Whether you are a buyer, lender, or seller, we can provide due diligence and other services to support your decision-making across a wide range of transactions. We can help plan and structure so that exposure is minimized and transactions are completed without costly surprises later.
Successful mergers and acquisitions require buyers, sellers, and lenders to clearly understand their respective opportunities and risks. We conduct financial due diligence for buyers and sellers to help identify areas that affect deal negotiations. Such services include assessment of recurring earnings and quality of earnings, analysis of key revenue and cost drivers, critique of balance sheet exposures, input on closing deal structure, and assessment of operating working capital needs.
Proper due diligence helps buyers and their lenders structure transactions strategically, and helps sellers realize the strengths and weaknesses of their position.
Strategic Business Planning
A Strategic Business Plan is a blueprint describing your company, its products, the competitive environment, management team, financial health and business risks. It is intended to help you prepare for the future of your business. It ensures that key lenders are all “on the same page,” and keeps both management and employees focused on the tasks at hand.
