M&A Market Test
Our team benchmarks clients' financial, commercial and operational merits against comparable transactions to identify relative company strengths and weaknesses, effectively defining value gaps prior to a liquidity event. This gap analysis, along with other analytic components, will produce a set of strategic, executable opportunities to more competitively position the business when the time is right to go to market. When the owner is comfortable, CM&Co can get direct feedback from a select group of agreed-upon, potentially interested entities.
Beginning with the end in mind, we help clarify what we want out a transaction, and will align transition planning: Structural considerations (percentage sold) and owners' continuing roles are two central topics;
Company due diligence, financial assessment, non-recurring cost identification, and model creation;
Primary industry and customer industry research, and establishing secure virtual data room;
Development of anonymous Teaser, NDA and initial Descriptive Memorandum;
Comparison to relevant transactions, and identification of potentially interested parties; and
Only after we are all ready, CM&Co will initiate contact with a select group of potentially interested investors (company remains anonymous) for direct market feedback on areas of interest and concern, activity levels, preferred structures and financing capacity as well as feasibility of reaching desired valuation ranges.
