Mergers & Acquisitions

South Carolina Business Valuation: Mergers & Acquisitions

A successful business transition depends on several variables. Before a client buys or sells a company, Level Financial Group’s business valuation provides the details needed for negotiating and decision-making.

Our team generates insight into funding arrangements, tax considerations, and financial reporting that can influence how you evaluate a company’s worth and how you approach a deal.

As part of your due diligence, we can help you:

  • Better understand the business
  • Identify value that might otherwise be overlooked
  • Uncover potential problem areas, including future tax vulnerabilities

The advantages of working with business valuation specialists

Many corporate financial departments and legal teams have little regular experience with mergers and acquisitions.
Because Level Financial Group accountants are business valuation specialists, we bring the support of professionals with deep familiarity of acquisition accounting and a level of expertise that some CPAs and counsel may lack.

Level Financial Group business valuations give our clients vision into:

  • Objective fair market value, so they have a basis for determining a purchase price
  • Synergies that may enable a buyer to eliminate certain expenses and influence how to value a merger or acquisition
  • Expectations and whether the perceptions of value from buyers and sellers are likely to be in alignment
  • The marketplace for competitive offers and criteria for screening potential buyers
This level of information and analysis instills our clients with confidence as they enter the negotiating process, helping them to decide if a deal is right for them.

A fact-centered basis for better decision-making

The motives leading to a business merger, purchase, or sale can be complex and are not always completely finance-driven.
The business world is brimming with stories of buyers who’ve fallen in love with the notion of owning a particular company, of entrepreneurs who can’t fully deliver on a great idea, and sellers whose pride or struggles have made it hard for them to accurately see the worth of what they’ve built.

Our accounting perspective on business valuation gives another view into a potential deal, delivering a fact-based assessment of a full range of important factors:

  • We examine how a company is generating revenue, the chief drivers of operating costs, and assess cash flow, debt, capital, and funding.
  • Our analysis can help you consider where there’s untapped potential or if there are key issues that might elevate the risk of acquiring a company.
  • Financial data provides a counterpoint to the emotion that can enter into the merger and acquisition process.
As we do with all of our work, Level Financial Group delivers that information in a clear, concise form that makes it readily accessible to everyone on our client’s team. We know the financial analysis we’re providing is complex, and we’re here to consider every question, with a friendly approach that clients tell us they appreciate.
