Mergers, Acquisitions, & Meaningful Exits
Reap the Benefits of All Your Efforts
Whether it is a company merger, acquisition or exit, the key factor is value. But, it not all about the numbers. When you join with BizAdvisoryBoard for your company valuation, you get much more than a report. You get a team containing highly credentialed experts who understand how much a thorough, sound and customized valuation means.
CULTURES: In the quest to get more value, the successful integration of organizational cultures can be a deciding factor. But pulling that off is easier said than done. Culture is an organization’s shared beliefs and values and can be deeply influential, shaping everything from how work gets done to how engaged employees feel. Yet culture and other workforce-related issues often get overlooked in increasing company value.
PURPOSE: Buyers and potential partners are all looking more closely at what companies stand for—their purpose and how they fulfill it. So how do you help your various stakeholders understand what you’re doing and make sure your commitment to it is clear to all parties in a transaction? That’s where we come in.
HR: Most companies will agree that the strength and depth of the key employees is a significant indicator of the value of a company. From management styles to preferred modes of employee collaboration, cultural issues require the same attention in due diligence and integration planning as any other aspect of a deal. Another area where HR can help add value in the deals process involves employee retention. These are just some of the often overlooked factors that can add to true value of a company.
Our valuation process is proven, consistent and collaborative, with each member of the team bringing unique insight and vast experience to the table.
The result?

An exit strategy is often thought of as the way to end a business — which it can be — but in best practice, it’s a plan that moves a business toward long-term goals and allows a smooth transition to a new phase, whether that involves re-imagining business direction or leadership, keeping financially sustainable or pivoting for challenges.
A fully formed exit strategy takes all business stakeholders, finances and operations into account and details all actions necessary to sell or close. Exit strategies vary by business type and size, but strong plans recognize the true value of a business and provide a foundation for future goals and new direction.
