Merger & Acquisition Support
Buyer Beware!
Few business activities are more complex or risky than making an acquisition. A thorough pre-acquisition review provides an opportunity to anticipate and negotiate critical business issues that often times emerge too late.
We will analyze every aspect of your business that could be affected by an acquisition. Areas that we will address include:
- Product lines and markets
- Operations, including plant facilities, production, purchasing, inventories, and costing
- Human resources
- Management styles and practices
- Research and development
- Engineering
- Legal matters
- Financial considerations, such as:
- Operating results
- Balance review sheet
- Financing and capital structure
- Forecasts
- Financial management
- Data processing
- Insurance and taxes
- Contingent liabilities
The benefits of a pre-acquisition review include providing you with:
- An assessment of the risk involved in a potential acquisition.
- Verification of selected assets.
- Identification of unrecorded or contingent liabilities.
- Information relevant to structuring and pricing the acquisition.
