Mergers and Acquisitions Services
With Anchin’s Broker/Dealer- Anchin Capital Advisors, LLC
Making the decision to buy or sell a business is one of the most
important decisions a business owner will ever make. Because of
the far-reaching ramifications of that decision and the complexity
of the merger and acquisition (M&A) process, it is important
that the process be directed by experienced professionals dedicated
to the M&A process.
The merger and acquisition (M&A) professionals at Anchin and its Broker/Dealer entity (Anchin Capital Advisors,
LLC) provide a comprehensive menu of services to the individual
or business looking to buy, sell or merge. Partners dedicated to
the M&A process include Sol Lipshitz, director of Anchin’s
M&A Group; Upen Saraiya; Marc Federbush; and Gene
Greenfest. Over the years, they have guided many
clients in a wide range of industries through the complex merger
and acquisition process. While each transaction is unique, the group’s
capabilities include:
- Developing and implementing the M&A strategy. This first-step
includes an examination of your short- and long-term business
and personal goals, as well as your overall business strategy.
- Conducting a thorough and accurate valuation of your business,
which could uncover hidden value in the company.
- For the seller, finding a motivated buyer through Anchin’s
network of contacts and an analysis of the market in which you
operate.
- Managing negotiations.
- Structuring and arranging financing to support the acquisition.
- Providing required due diligence. Due diligence is a complex
process, and at Anchin, includes more than the traditional financial
statement analysis. Due diligence could encompass an operational
due diligence, the early detection of a “deal buster,”
cash flow analysis, and more.
- Developing the most advantageous tax strategy for the buyer
or seller.
- Managing the deal process which can be lengthy, volatile and
frustrating. It is our job to keep the process on track.
- Assisting with the integration of the businesses.
- Providing the technology infrastructure to meet the needs of
the new company.
At Anchin, we know the “deal is not done” when final papers
are signed. What remains to be done is the blending of operational
systems, personalities, management styles and cultures of two different
organizations. Our professionals are there for their clients to
assure a successful transition for the new business, its owner,
and the employees. These are just a few of the many reasons that
clients choose Anchin to handle their merger and acquisition process.
