Acquisition strategy development
 The acquisition strategy serves as a roadmap for the acquisition portion of the investment life-cycle. Developing an acquisition strategy is a key component of acquisition planning. It will lay out in basic terms the approach that the project will take to progress through formulation and set the basis for the transition into implementation.

Target identification and evaluation
We provide detailed analysis of potential targets, including size, ownership and inclination of shareholders, core strategy, operating credo, core market prospects, financial analysis and prior corporate actions.

Purchase price and deal structure assessment
Deal structuring involves identifying the primary goals of the parties involved in the transaction, alternatives to achieve these goals, and how to share risks.  The appropriate deal structure will satisfy as many of the primary objectives of the parties involved as necessary to reach an agreement and will be subject to an acceptable level of risk.

Negotiation strategy development
Our formulation of negotiation strategies will help you achieve the best possible result.

Assistance with obtaining financing for the acquisition
Our network of bankers and private financiers will provide various financing scenarios to support your purchase.

Due diligence investigation
Being prepared with accurate, well-presented information is critical to avoiding surprises, for both buyer and seller. Through due diligence, we will help you develop an efficient structure to achieve objectives and overcome early barriers to the proposed structure and approach. Our due diligence process includes the identification of financial matters and an assessment of information quality.

Purchase price allocation
We will help assign new values to assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction based on the price paid. We will advise you of any necessary write-ups or write-downs, as well as any goodwill created through the purchase.

Post – acquisition support
After the deal has closed, we can help you calculate the gain or loss on the sale and assist in determining purchase price adjustments. We will also help in addressing the overall process of the acquisition from both internal and external perspectives, including tax implications and financial impacts.
