The ASE Fleet's Weekly Take Off 30
The 8 Phases Of The M&A Lifecycle
Hello friends,
Here are the 8 phases of the M&A Lifecycle and how your friendly neighbor ASE advisors can help you with each one.
1. Strategy – Let’s identify competitors and complementary businesses that you can acquire to maximize your exit to Private Equity or grow your business’s net profit.
2. Valuation – Sell your business for top dollar. We have access to the same data business brokers do so that both the business seller and buyer have a win-win deal. But we don’t just rely on EBITDA when evaluating.
3. Financing – Get access to any range of debt for working capital, growth capital, business acquisition, recapitalizations, and equipment financing strictly as a value add.
4. Structuring – Leverage our over 200 tools and methods of structuring and financing deals, regardless of the deal size. Our financial engineering makes sure that both sides end up with a win-win deal.
5. Due Diligence – Accounting and legal firms are always recommended for this portion. But we’ll keep an eye out for other red flags and everyday items based on our experience.
6. Negotiation – How do we know that the people who will be affected by the deal on your side are pleased with this? How do we make sure the people who have to live with this deal like the way it’s structured?
7. Closing – Both sides will be happy with the deal and see it as a win-win.
8. Integration – Professional EOS (entrepreneurial operating system) implementers and M&A integrators in our network are waiting for us to refer you to them as needed. EOS turns your business into a self-operating system, and EOS companies have proven to virtually always get a higher multiple upon exit.
