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.
