M&A Exit Prep Services

Growing and managing your business has been an incredibly rewarding experience – your exit should be equally the same. After years of business success and pride in what you’ve built, you may be ready to pass the reigns to someone else. It’s essential to have an exit strategy in place for when you retire or if you want to pursue another project.

With CAS’ M&A Exit Prep Services, you’ll be ready to put your best foot forward when it comes time to pursue your exit strategy.

Our M&A Exit Prep Services help owners and executives of outsourced tech-enabled business services companies to prepare for a sale. We have completed over 125 M&A engagements over the past 20 years, and we can attest to the fact that companies that had prepared in advance for a sales process typically had more efficient time to close, as well as a higher enterprise valuation than those that didn’t take the necessary steps. As a result, we have developed an “exit” workflow process to assist company owners and/or the management team to get ready in advance of the transaction.

The process may include but is not limited to:

Perform an initial market valuation assessment that contains an estimated enterprise value range.

Research the types of buyers who would be interested in your business (domestic and international).

Identify key-value drivers/detractors and recommendations on how to resolve them prior to starting a sale process.

Complete a general market trend analysis that specifically addresses the timing of a sale.

Perform technology review and research of any technology that the company has begun or has already commercialized and how best to position as part of, or separate from, the sale.

Research and provide market intelligence on growth opportunities that may exist within the business.

Create due diligence data room template and file layout structure and nomenclature.

Identify key executives to fill gaps in the management team, if applicable.

Perform an assessment of any compliance-related issues that will impact the sale of the business.

Access to a virtual room data via Firmex, which our deal team would manage for you.

Review of quarterly financial and operational information.

Access to a network of transaction and compliance attorneys, wealth managers, accountants, and tax and insurance advisors.
