ASG Flowchart for Mergers and Acquisitions

 


Selling your business while maximizing the sale price and minimizing risks (such as tax obligations, not getting paid, litigation risks, etc.) requires a strict methodology. At ASG we have the experience and knowledge necessary to achieve the best results for you regarding the sale of your company, while reducing the potential risks. Review our flowchart to get a better idea of how we will handle the sale of your company.


Preliminary Stages

  • A full business valuation is performed to determine your company’s fair market range of value .

  • Timing is important for the sale of your business. At ASG we decide if now is an opportune time to go to market or if waiting will better serve your interests.

  • The ASG team obtains commitments from lenders for financing.


Marketing
  • Your ASG team develops a unique marketing strategy for your company.

  • Searches of databases are conducted to identify potential buyers with the financial means to complete the sale.

  • Confidential Business Review, or the detailed information on your business, is created (and approved by you) for review by potential clients.

  • The ASG team contacts potential buyers for them to sign a Confidentiality Agreement (CA) and to verify their financial viability.

  • Principal to principal meetings are held and coordinated by the ASG team.


Offer Stage
  • The ASG team and principals create a time frame in which offers must be made.

  • ASG works with the potential buyers’ teams to hammer out the details.

  • ASG provides potential buyers with information regarding Letters of Intent.

  • Final agreement is reached in a non-binding Letter of Intent.

  • Your ASG team negotiates all details.


Between Offer and Closing
  • The due diligence process of the buyer is facilitated by the ASG team.

  • Legal documents are prepared with the coordination of ASG and outside legal contacts.

  • The ASG team coordinates a final closing date that is approved by all parties.

 


Closing and Post-Closing

  • ASG team member attends closing at escrow to ensure all necessary final documents are in order.

  • After closing, the ASG team works with the post-closing documents, including non-compete, consulting, and the like.

Having all these elements correctly fall into place on their own is virtually impossible. It only occurs through the hard work, diligence and experience of a firm like ASG that knows how to work the market to receive multiple offers and to create the best possible transactions for ASG's clients.
