Advisory Services - Business Acquisitions

ADG can manage every step of the business acquisition process from the initial concept to the closing. These items include devising the initial strategy, preparing a list of potential acquisitions, discretely contacting and vetting prospective sellers, negotiating with the sellers, coordinating the finances for the transaction, preparing for and managing the due diligence process, coordinating the efforts of your accountants and attorneys, and assisting with the closing. While each engagement is unique, a more detailed listing of some of the services that we typically perform in connection with an acquisition include:

• Meet with you and your management team to discuss your business, understand your concerns, and design a plan to achieve your goals.
• Perform a strategic analysis of your business and discuss our findings and observations.
• Prepare, develop, and monitor the business’ metrics and provide ongoing suggestions for improvement.
• Discretely contact and meet with potential sellers.
