You want to... Acquire, merge or take over a company
Buying a business can be more advantageous than starting a new one.
These advantages include :
- Established clientele;
- Proven viability of business model;
- Availability of an operating history enabling more accurate forecasting of the funds generated by the company;
- Easier to organize financing.
Even so, it's important to follow a serious and rigorous analysis process before making a formal offer to purchase.
The major elements to be considered in this process are as follows:
- Determine how this acquisition action brings synergy with your other company(ies) and/or how your expertise and experience could bring the target company to the desired level.
- Evaluate the position of the business you're interested in (market, finances, asset condition, location, etc.) and determine your objectives.
- Assess the true value of this acquisition and the right price to offer.
- Determine financing strategy.
We strongly encourage you to seek the support and advice of one of our advisors (accountants, tax specialists, lawyers, business valuators, etc.) to minimize costs.
Call on SADC's services right from the start of the process, in complete confidentiality. Depending on your needs, we'll guide you and, with your agreement, involve various support experts, such as those from the Centre de Transfert d'Entreprises du Québec (CTEQ).
