C3 M&A Advisory Service

Although some larger companies have well staffed and experienced M&A groups, in many cases companies have few, if any, people on staff that have experience with M&A’s.  Most M&A transaction attempts do not progress to a close, and of those that do, most of them either fail or fall significantly short of expectations.

 

Engaging M&A experts can significantly increase the likelihood of a successful M&A transaction, benefiting from expert advice and assistance in best practices in planning and managing the process of M&As, as well as properly planning and executing the post-acquisition integration process.

 

To meet this need, we offer our C3 M&A Advisory ServiceWe are seasoned and experienced corporate executives/CEOs, and have worked on numerous M&A projects on both the buy and sell sides.  Based on our deep experience, and in collaboration with our partners, including AcquisitionWorks for HR-related matters, we assist clients with the planning and execution of M&As, with focus on all three phases of an M&A transaction:

 

·          Pre M&A process, including establishing objectives/parameters and identifying potential targets

·          M&A process, including transaction planning as well as post-transaction integration planning, contact/discussion with target, due diligence process, valuation, negotiation of the agreement, and closing of the transaction

·          Post M&A process, including stakeholder communication and post-transaction integration of personnel, products/technologies and customers

 

“I worked closely with Win as a fair, honest and direct competitor whom I came to respect. Win and I initiated and completed negotiations for my company, Utility partners, to be acquired by his company, ViryaNet. During that process I found him to be firm, detail oriented, insightful, and fair. Nothing slipped by Win since he always asked the second and third questions until he was satisfied that he understood. He handle many of the difficult situations in the integration of the two companies with direct, honest and open communications. I would work with and for Win at any time.” Tim Reed, CEO, Utility Partners
