Once traction is established with a partner,
we build on our earlier investment to craft an even more compelling
business case. We expand on angles that resonate, and ferret out
other high value synergies. We’re also particularly skillful
at anticipating and removing hurdles that have the potential to
put a deal at risk.
Missing key business objectives as a result
of management distraction is one risk in particular that we help
you avoid. For example, missing quarterly numbers during the selling
process can result in costly delays, a lower valuation, or even
losing the deal altogether. Although these transactions demand your
notable involvement, we take on the majority of the heavy lifting
with an ongoing priority to minimize your management distraction.
Finally, we call upon our many years of deal
experience to drive a transaction to completion as expeditiously
as possible. Clearly, we work hard to generate competition to maximize
the deal value and negotiate hard on your behalf. Moreover, we have
all of the necessary tools to help you justify valuations to prospective
buyers. Beyond valuation, we work very closely with you, your Board
and your counsel to ensure that the terms of the deal are constructed
in a way that most closely meets the needs of your company and its
shareholders. You can count on our experience to navigate the extensive
array of contractual issues that have the potential to reduce deal
value. Because we have managed so many deals over the years, we
are proficient at identifying these potential landmines, assessing
their likely impact, and negotiating them to minimize any downside
– and conversely to maximize your upside.
