Corporate Finance Services
Understanding of the value of a business, the quality of its earnings and its financial exposures is critical to developing strategies to maximize the effectiveness of a transaction. The professionals at SGC offer comprehensive advisory services for our clients seeking to complete acquisitions or minority investments, transfer ownership interests, or secure equity and mezzanine financing.
Our Corporate Finance professionals work with buy-side and sell-side strategic acquirers, investors and private equity funds. Our expertise is with businesses and investors in middle-market transactions across a wide range of industries, both domestic and international.
Due Diligence
When considering mergers and acquisitions, clients engage SGC to combine financial, accounting, tax, information technology, and industry expertise in a multidisciplinary investigative effort, in order to look behind numbers and reveal true financial pictures. Our detailed approach includes quality-of-earnings assessment, management interviews, facility visits, auditor meetings, GAAP compliance assessment and close review of documents, records and workpapers. The objective: a comprehensive understanding of the full financial implications of a transaction within the context of our client’s business objectives.
Transaction Services
Clients understand that the way transactions are structured can have immense economic impact, and materially affect their business objectives. SGC transaction services include evaluating the impact of a transaction on financial statements or taxable income; and suggesting alternatives that may improve those outcomes. We point you to the key issues and provide facts that enable you to negotiate from a position of strength.
Clients also retain us to provide helpful insight into transaction documents, especially disclosure schedules, working capital, and post-closing adjustment provisions. After the closing, clients seek to leverage our knowledge of the target company with services such as closing balance sheet adjustments, earnout reviews, and purchase price allocations.
