Advice on acquisitions

Right up to closing, I carried out over 50 acquisition transactions, both for clients and for the industrial groups that employed me.

FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS can provide you with additional expertise or logistical support.

The help of a professional does not alter your ability to make decisions or to judge whether or not to make an acquisition. It does, however, enable you to better identify and calibrate the risks associated with the acquisition, to try to cover some of them in the acquisition contract, or to factor them into the acquisition price. An intermediary reduces conflict between buyer and seller, and promotes the quality of exchanges and the flow of information.

 

 

YOUR CHALLENGE
​

If you're wondering whether an acquisition is right for you, or if you want to secure a deal in a competitive or difficult environment:

​​

  • How can you increase the value of a company that is making a loss but has prospects for recovery?

​​

  • How do you finance the deal?

​​

  • What are the costs involved in this type of transaction?

​​

  • What is the best strategy for dealing with the seller?

​​

  • How should due diligence be organized, and what are the main areas of risk?​

 

  • When and how should you prepare for integrating the acquisition into your company?
