MERGERS AND ACQUISITION CONSULTING
Selling a business or practice is a substantial event for any company. Most professionals would agree
that a successful process is as much about “art” as it is “science.” The wrong timing, the wrong
structure or the wrong deal can waste a significant portion of the business wealth thereby threatening
the owner’s ability to achieve his or her post-business goals. Having the right team of advisors
throughout the process is critical – and can be the key to having a successful transition.
BROWNSTONE can work with the advisory team already in place or, at the owner’s request, use our
own network of experts to help transition the ownership of the business when the time comes. Our
fee-based – rather than “commission based – addresses the challenges of selling a business including:
• Reviewing the business or practice from the standpoint of improving value and salability
• Establishing a realistic value for the business
• Facilitating the sale to partners or key managers
• Creating the best structure (from a legal, tax and practical business standpoint)
• Performing an initial due diligence to identify problem areas and strengths
• Developing the presentation packet for the business
• Identifying prospective buyers
• Advising clients through the negotiations with prospective buyers or sellers
