Comprehensive M&A Advisory
Company Valuation
Whether you are buying or selling, calculating the value of a brokerage business is complex and when it is your balance sheet on the table, quite stressful. Our team has been there and knows from experience how to price a brokerage.
M&A Pre-Planning Vision
We can perform a complete business evaluation and needs assessment. We’ll help you define your vision to guide your people through the challenges and opportunities which arise from mergers and acquisitions. Our expertise allows us to suggest proven solutions to your situation.
A successful merger or acquisition is best judged a year after the closing papers are signed. It is the integration of the new resources and subsequent growth that make the whole process worthwhile. We assist in a comprehensive integration plan that includes the assimilation of the firms and onboarding.
The Keys to Successful Acquisitions
No two acquisitions are the same, but the path to successful execution follows similar patterns. The vision that you set for your people will help them through the transition and energize your new organization to operate at maximum efficiency. In this recent webinar, George Slusser explains the 4 Cs of a successful acquisition.
