When selling a business, owners can only obtain the best possible price and deal terms if their company is ironclad when going to market. Otherwise, either deals die or take too long to close, and unexpected adverse events give a buyer the upper hand. Proper preparation, professional presentation, and the ability to reach qualified strategic and financial buyers are critical to deal success. Our M&A advisory team has a proven track record of selling companies over decades and throughout a variety of economic conditions, and our transaction advisory professionals have executed hundreds of due diligence mandates.
Indispensable Experience
Our transaction and M&A professionals collaborate during the preparation phase to identify and address critical issues that can affect a deal. Together, they help resolve business concerns proactively, position EBITDA adjustments favorably and strengthen the credibility of financial and business information. As a result, re-trade opportunities are effectively reduced, offers are based on information that will withstand buyer due diligence, time to close is frequently decreased and value increased.
