One of the most common and logical steps in the process
of growing a business is acquiring other companies, divisions, or product
lines. CMC, LTD. will carefully review your products and/or services
as they apply to your market as well as those of other markets. This
analysis, coupled with your business plan, will enable CMC, LTD. to assist
in developing the appropriate acquisition criteria and strategy. This
strategy will guide CMC, LTD. in the identification of the appropriate
companies that can provide significant benefits when acquired or merged.
Once we have received the completed Buyer's Questionnaire and the Retainer,
which covers our time and basic search expenses incurred during the
initial identification process, you will have engaged CERTIFIED MARKETING
CONSULTANTS, LTD. (CMC) for our Acquisition Search Services. The retainer
(net of expenses) will be credited against our Transaction Fee upon
completion of the acquisition.
The search process for acquisitions/mergers involves six steps:
- Identifying companies that meet your acquisition criteria
- Proactively, but confidentially, contacting these companies to determine their interest in selling
- Arranging for you and the owner(s) of the interested companies to meet and further explore commonalties
- Reviewing and analyzing the target company's value
- Developing the suggested financial terms of the purchase structure
- Negotiating and assisting in closing the transaction
In the event you do not wish to retain CMC for our Acquisition
Search Services, we will nonetheless keep your Buyer's Questionnaire
on file in the event any companies meeting your criteria contact us with
an interest in selling their business. We will not, however, be able
to actively conduct a search for companies for you to acquire at this
time. If you elect not to retain us, it is important to note that should
another company want us to represent them in the sale of their company
and we contact you on behalf of that company, we will have fiduciary
responsibility to act in their best interest, and as such, will be precluded
from representing you.
You could not be more timely in your plans as our Industry is enjoying
unprecedented opportunities. If you should have any questions or need
further assistance, please feel free to contact us via e-mail or phone
260-637-6643.
