Acuity is capable of providing
either “Buy-Side” or “Sell-Side”
Merger & Acquisition Advisory Services. This
means that we work with firms, seeking to expand
their operations in terms of revenue, geographical
presence, service offerings, product offerings and/or
areas of technical expertise, via a strategic merger
or acquisition. We also work with firm owners, seeking
to put in place their own personal exit strategies,
who have decided that external transition alternatives
represent their best solution. In our practice Acuity
has chosen not to be an M&A generalist. Rather,
our focus is exclusively in working with Engineering,
Architecture and Construction Firms, Federal Government
Contractors and Commercial Sector IT & Telecommunications
Solutions Providers. Through our focus, we have
developed a working knowledge of our clients’
businesses. This permits us to understand key financial
measurements, operational and management standards,
market conditions, pricing trends, prevailing deal
structures and other critical issues prevalent in
the market place.
Our objective is to be mindful of our clients’
needs and preferences and to work proactively as
their advocate to bring about successful M&A
transactions. Our services can be tailored to match
the expectations and resources of our clients. Based
on client wishes, Acuity can handle valuations,
buyer or seller candidate prospecting and marketing,
financial analysis, deal structuring assistance
and negotiating assistance. Our approach is proactive,
as we rely on direct contact with the management
and owners of prospect firms and not on passive
internet or mail contacts. We seek to meet out clients’
M&A objectives in a cost-effective method, both
from the standpoint of dollars and time invested.
Throughout, we maintain the highest standards of
confidentiality to protect the interests of all
parties involved in a potential transaction. |
