Services >> Business Restructuring

Overview

Our in-depth knowledge of clients’ industries and technical analysis of their business structures and operations help us identify problem areas.  We have been helping troubled companies find ways to survive and turnaround.  We meet with management and shareholders/creditors to clarify business objectives and set and mutually agree upon both short and long-term goals.  We provide assessments of both management capability and company assets, and recognize areas of under-performance to identify ineffective business strategies.  Lastly, we help design and implement action plans to improve profitability through both operational and financial restructuring.  If necessary, we also find the most effective way for company closure.

Merger and Acquisition

To improve a company's growth, competitiveness, and profitability, mergers and acquisitions are becoming a common choice for today's evolving businesses.  We offer advice on tax aspects of cross-border acquisitions, reorganizations, spin-offs, and liquidations.  In the planning stages, our trained professionals can assist in preparing projections and conducting financial analyses.  In identifying potential investment opportunities, we can assist with a review of a target company that includes due diligence.  With our experience in the high tech industry, we can help investors to value the target company's technology and human capital.  We can also help clients to anticipate and mitigate any post closing surprises such as litigation, loss of competitiveness, or a reduction of the company's overall value.  Based on the assessment of various alternative transactions from both the business and tax perspectives, we make recommendations on our client's transactions.

Leveraged and Management Buyouts

We assist management groups and investors with leveraged buyouts (LBO) of target companies, typically utilizing borrowed funds.  In a LBO the buyout group finances the transaction with funds borrowed against the assets of projected cash flows of the entity being acquired.  A management buyout (MBO) can work as an exit mechanism for founders and investors.  We negotiate the terms and select the deal most favorable to the management team.  A LBO or MBO offers an incentive structure for management to business owners.
