MERGER & ACQUISITIONS
A privately held company reaching revenues over $10MM within a fiscal year may be poised for a merger or acquisition. A merger can be defined as a consolidation of the target company with a surviving corporation. An acquisition can be defined as a target company selling off its tangible assets and goodwill to a corporation and subsequently dissolving. Whether it’s a merger or acquisition it is really form over substance from the standpoint of finding a buyer who will merge the target company into its own or acquire its assets. Either way, from our standpoint finding a buyer is the same. Typically you will look for larger industry “players” who are looking to expand vertically or horizontally.
Finding these industry “players” is more art than science and you have to treat each transaction differently. You have to plan a comprehensive and strategic search for a potential buyer. You need to understand the way on which you approach a potential buyer. Likewise, if you are looking to merger or acquire a company, the same rules apply as a comprehensive and strategic planning and execution is critical.
