Formulating an exit strategy from your business is a major event that requires making an informed decision. Initially, Sun provides feedback as to likely valuation range and transaction structure alternatives. This will confirm whether our expectation of value and yield is in line with your goals. You will then be better positioned to determine whether it makes sense to pursue an exit strategy now, or prepare the Company for a sale in a future period.
Selling a Company is a once in a lifetime event for most owners. A business owner cannot afford to experience an expensive learning curve resulting from lack of transactional experience. Sun M&A brings extensive, broad based expertise yielding the greatest probability of a successful sale with a maximum net after-tax yield.
Selling a business is a highly specialized and complex process that presents many challenges. Sun M&A anticipates potential obstacles and concerns from a buyer’s perspective and addresses these issues before they interfere with your transaction. There are many instances in which non-traditional transactional matters arise such as selling to members of a management team; transactions between partners/partnership dispute resolutions; family business transition plans; companies looking to enter into a merger relationship, and many more. Our experience with these specialized scenarios enables us to apply the creativity and knowledge necessary to maximize the probability of achieving the desired outcome. Sun’s professionals understand and address the tax implications, legal issues and regulatory hurdles that commonly arise during the business sale process. We work closely with you and your other professionals to achieve the optimal selling price and transaction structure.
Identifying the “right” acquirer strongly influences market value. The traditional acquisition search approach (i.e. searching websites, contacting business brokers, looking in newspapers, etc.) to locating strategic or targeted acquisitions is a lengthy process that seldom yields quality acquisition prospects. Our pro-active acquisition search program will identify significantly more interested sellers than are currently "on the market" from a traditional approach. This is a key element toward finding suitable acquisitions. Read about our targeted acquisition search process.
