Why Hire a Mergers and Acquisitions Advisory Firm?

An experienced M&A Advisor understands the market, has access to statistics on recent sales, and can apply various methodologies to guide you on the Most Probable Selling Price.  We take out the complexity by doing a proper business valuation and help a business owner get the best price for their business.

A M&A Advisor can help maintain confidentiality, identifying the business only to prospective buyers who qualify. Most business owners do not want their staff, customers, landlord or suppliers to know they are considering exiting the business. The M&A Advisor can secure confidentiality undertakings, screen prospects, and manage the phases of the release of sensitive information.

The M&A Advisor is a trusted resource to the business seller at any stage of the sale process. A California licensed M&A Advisor is steeped in knowledge about negotiating price, terms, and other key aspects of the sale. From follow-ups in the early deal origination stages, to controlling the smooth running of the Definitive Purchase Agreement. The M&A Advisor has a role the business owners and entrepreneurs themselves cannot do effectively as their focus should be running their business.

Enlisting the expertise of Lower Middle Market Advisors is a highly strategic and intelligent move, considering how many decisions there are to be made. While we’ve discovered some of the private company valuation methods and types of business valuation and M&A strategy, there are still more approaches to evaluate. 

A valuation approach is a way in which an M&A Advisor will navigate the valuation of a business. While there are many avenues within these approaches, this choice is often one of the first things a M&A Advisor will think about.

In some instances, your M&A Advisor will approach your valuation in more than one way, which is typically a productive way to get a clear and accurate answer. Below are the three most common approaches. 

 There are several methods, types, and approaches to your business valuation. Let’s review one more time the different valuation methods: 

• Market Capitalization
• Times Revenue Multiplier
• Earnings Multiplier
• Discounted Cash Flow Method
• Book Value
• Liquidation Value

Every business is unique within its industry, as well as unique from any other similar company. Therefore, each will require its own approach and series of methods and techniques. 

Determining which method is best for your business is a daunting task; choose the wrong one, and you might end up with a bad valuation. 

However, collaborating with an M&A Advisor can steer you in the right direction. These experts know which approaches to try and which method will give you the best possible value for your company. 

 A business appraisal does not always equal your business’s valuation. Different buyers have different reasons for making the acquisition and so it helps to remember this as the business is valued and made available to the market.   

An M&A Advisor can help you sell your business at a higher price than the appraised value. They often implement different forms of strategic planning and apply their vast knowledge of Mergers and Acquisitions to help business owners achieve their best return return on a sale.
