Buying a Business
The Right Acquisition — The Right Way
Whether you’re looking to expand into new markets, add product lines, gain hard-to-find talent, acquire technology, or strengthen your customer base, growing your business sometimes means considering acquisitions. But you can’t afford to make a mistake. A wrong move can erase years of hard work and profitability.
Blackman Kallick’s Corporate Finance Consulting Group provides buy-side Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) advisory services to a diverse range of clients.
Our buy-side M&A services include:
- Business planning and financial modeling
- Acquisition searches, including developing search criteria, conducting a local, national and international search, and screening potential targets
- Acquisition valuation, including business and intangible asset valuation
- Negotiating and structuring the acquisition
- Tax planning
- M&A due diligence
- Post-close integration
Your Complete Solution for Business Growth
Our focus goes far beyond transaction services. We start by developing a thorough understanding of your business goals and how the right acquisition can help grow your business. We work with you to develop a financial model that takes into account your business assets, cash flow, and leverage capabilities as the starting point to determine the size of the acquisition target.
Then we facilitate the M&A process — from initial target research and screening to closing the deal. Blackman Kallick’s experts in tax and accounting augment our Corporate Finance team by providing tax structuring and financial due diligence expertise to ensure a smooth acquisition process and a successful post-close integration.
The Value of a Trusted Advisor
We perform a thorough analysis of each prospective acquisition target and ask the right questions to minimize risk.
Our clients trust us to provide the best advice for their unique circumstances — even if that advice is to walk away from a transaction or pursue another growth strategy.
As part of a successful CPA firm, we have credibility with sellers and their business advisors. Additionally, financing sources value the quality of our financial analyses and projections.
