Our merger/acquisition experts make a complex process simpler for you.
A merger or acquisition can be an exciting time. The sale or other transition of your business may be the single most important, and perhaps the largest, financial event in your life. Unfortunately, like most business owners, you probably don’t have an exit strategy. And selling at the wrong time or without the right information can substantially lower the market value of your business.

Whether you’re motivated by a desire to retire, by succession concerns, the diversification of your assets, a desire to expand your capital, or the need for larger markets, we’ll design the right game plan for you. We understand these complex motivations and the unique set of challenges each business sale or merger presents. There is no precise formula for timing the sale to maximize
shareholder value. Personnel considerations often present conflicts. Although every business has assets, some are more immediately obvious than others. Reasons for selling or merging are not always clear. We make it our business to fully understand you, your culture, performance, market segment and potential. With our detailed knowledge of the process, we take everything into account to position you to bring the highest value for your business. We can assist in all areas of stock or asset sales, mergers or acquisitions.

You may not be qualified to judge what your business is worth, but our business valuation experts are.

There are many reasons to evaluate the worth of your business. You may be looking into selling or arranging a buy-sell agreement. Or maybe you want to reduce the risk of audits and penalties on your estate or save your heirs from tax liabilities. You might even be trying to expand your business, and securing a loan is easier if you know its true market value. Whatever the reason for the valuation, Thaney & Associates has the professional expertise you need to determine the most beneficial possible value for your business.

If you are considering selling your business, the Thaney team knows what buyers look for, and how to highlight what in your business is most attractive to them. Because a valuation is all about timing, we’ll evaluate a variety of timing-related factors. What is the competitive landscape? How attractive is the industry, what is the growth potential? Are there any economic or regulatory threats? We will research the industry and your business– not only to determine the strengths and strategic value, but also to pinpoint the areas for improvement that will maximize the selling price.

The 4-step Thaney buy-sell valuation process begins with restating your financial statements, followed by a management structure review, evaluation of process systemization and finally, a review of your team composition and potential for profitability improvement.
