Strategic Guidance and
Assistance to Buyers & Investors
For Buyers
Lenvest represents corporate buyers who
have targeted a particular acquisition as well as those who require
confidential acquisition search services. Lenvest assists our buyer
clients in:
Determining the desirable characteristics
of Acquisition Candidates
Searching extensively for Target Companies
that fit this Criteria
Making first contact with the Owners of
Target Companies
Determining the appropriate Price &
Terms to Offer
Drafting the Letter of Intent for legal
review
Negotiating transaction details and deal
structure.
The principals at Lenvest have significant
experience in the tactics of negotiation essential to the completion of
successful business acquisitions. In addition, we have the
expertise to deal with the many non-financial issues associated with acquiring
businesses. We have the professionals available to assist our buyer
clients with making Executive Assessments of the management of the Targeted
Company, and we frequently:
Coordinate the terms of the deal with
our clients Tax and Legal Advisors
Supervise the Due Diligence review of
the Target Company
Address people issues - perform executive
assessments
Interface with "problem" sellers or owners
with special concerns
Provide guidance through Lender Negotiations
Keep the transaction moving toward closing.
For Investors
Done properly, investing in a business
and receiving a minority ownership position is similar to acquiring the
entire company. The ownership percentage is less, but the evaluation
process, legal documentation and due diligence review are quite similar.
However, many outside investors in closely-held companies have neither
the time or expertise to effectively evaluate their investment opportunities.
These "Angel Investors" engage Lenvest to assist them in evaluating proposed
investments and performing the due diligence review of the company on their
behalf.
