Merger & Acquisition Advisory Services

The decision to buy or sell a company is one of the most important choices that company management will make. Numerous factors are critical to understanding a company's intrinsic value, and most importantly, its strategic value. Our merger and acquisition services provide the following benefits:

• A complete understanding of a company's intrinsic value


• A complete understanding of a company's strategic value


• Knowledge of a company's potential value to different types of buyers


• Reasonable starting range for negotiations


• Discussion items for negotiations


• Identification of positive points that increase the sales price or negative points that decrease the sales price


• Advice on the appropriate timing of the acquisition or sale


• Ability to maximize after-tax wealth

Understanding a company's value is a crucial and time-consuming part of the transaction process. Adams Capital assists in understanding the dynamics of the marketplace, the business and industry risks, and the opportunities to increase shareholder value. When determining a company's value, we perform detailed analysis of:

• Financial condition and operating performance (both historical and projected)
  
• Industry trends and expectations
  
• Economic environment
  
• Intangible asset value
  
• Market price of similar public companies
  
• Recent sales of comparable companies

Adams Capital is experienced in identifying opportunities to increase shareholders' after-tax net worth. We recognize that building value is not necessarily the same as increasing the bottom line. Our experience and team approach provides our clients with value-added services including industry knowledge, tax implications, due diligence, and shareholder value analysis to support a company's purchase or sale.
