Understanding Business Valuation in M&A Transactions

You’re no stranger to acquiring and liquidating assets for your business. But buying and selling a whole business is a whole different ball game. M&A involves people, real property, goodwill, financial statements, proprietary processes, technology, and more. These all become part of a company’s valuation. And while companies have some intrinsic value, supply and demand certainly shape what that final agreement looks like.

DHJJ’s Mergers & Acquisition services ensure you understand the business valuation, whether you’re the buyer or the seller. And we help you navigate the process. Here’s how our Mergers & Acquisition services make that happen.

 

Navigating the Full M&A Lifecycle

  • Due Diligence. Assessing potential risks and developing a plan to manage them
  • Transaction Structuring. Every transaction is unique. Advantages and disadvantages will exist on both sides of the table. This involves structuring a transaction that makes the most sense for you, your business, and your life goals. If you’re executing your business exit strategy to retire, we help you achieve the outcome you’re looking for.
  • Post-Merger Closing. On the buying side, you need a post-merger plan to assess and establish strong organizational leadership while integrating teams, technology, operations, and more. We offer customized business advice and tax planning to help you complete this transition to manage your business effectively going forward. For sellers, post-merger closing helps you effectively hand over the reins.
  • M&A Strategy. Developing a data-informed strategy that streamlines the M&A process, addresses potential roadblocks, and keeps your deal on track to the finish line.
  • Consulting on Business Valuations & Purchase Price. It’s vital to assess a business’ health and understand the true value of a company to the one buying it. Even minor oversights can derail the deal or post-merger transition. With over 20 years of experience with Mergers & Acquisition services, we can help you find the right sell or purchase price.
  • Negotiating Process Supervision. As a third-party observer, we watch the process unfold and can quickly identify gaps that must be bridged to reach a mutually beneficial deal.
