Mergers & Acquisitions

In this dynamic business era,  proposed business deals must withstand major scrutiny. Whether it be the acquisition of another company or a partnership with an international distributor, management often needs critical data to make informed decisions about whether to go forward with a business action. Sullivan & Company assists companies confronted with major purchasing decisions, undertaking a critical and comprehensive analysis of all factors in play. 

We understand that offers to purchase or sell an asset are usually dependent on the results of a financial audit and an operational audit. Sometimes, system incompatibilities may require huge amounts of time, money and personnel resources to integrate.

For many deals, we go beyond a mere due diligence assessment and evaluation of  balance sheets to provide a thoughtful analysis of what a company is worth now and projected performance in the future. Our professionals frequently offer guidance on selecting a lender and maximizing arrangements for financing and lending transactions that will, ultimately, consummate the deal.

Our team of mergers-and-acquisition professionals bring to light both the big-picture perspectives and subtle nuances that may impact the ultimate success of your next move.
