Advice on acquisitions
From origination to closing, I have completed over 50 acquisitions for clients and for industrial groups that mandated me.
FINANCIERE CINCINNATUS can provide you with additional expertise and practical support throughout the process.
Working with an experienced professional does not limit your ability to make your own decisions or to judge whether an acquisition is the right move. On the contrary, it helps you better identify and manage the risks involved, cover them in the contract, or factor them into the final price. An intermediary reduces conflict between buyer and seller, and promotes clear, efficient information sharing.
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 do you value a company that is operating at a loss but has prospects for recovery?
-
How do you secure financing for the transaction?
-
What are the usual costs incurred in these types of transactions?
-
What is the best strategy for dealing with the seller?
-
How should due diligence be organised, and what are the main risk areas?
-
When and how should you prepare post-acquisition integration?
