Buying a Company

Few business decisions are more important than the decision to acquire another company. Green Park Partners helps you determine if the time is right for an acquisition and then works with you to plan and implement the most appropriate acquisition strategy.

You may already be in discussions with a target company or perhaps you are taking the first steps towards a target search. Green Park Partners will move the process forward to secure a successful acquisition. With Green Park Partners as an advisor, you are able to concentrate on running your company while we manage all aspects of the acquisition.

From Strategy to Acquisition

The Green Park Partners process for acquisition extends from the development of corporate strategy to its execution. Because successful acquisitions are the result of well-conceived and well-executed integration plans, we help clients plan for as well as implement their transaction strategy.

Candidate Identification and Evaluation

To identify acquisition candidates, we undertake a comprehensive search based on our client's strategic, operational and financial criteria.

Potential candidates are evaluated to determine which opportunities should command the highest priority, and once the client has expressed interest in a given target, Green Park Partners performs a thorough analysis of the business, its competitive position and future prospects. Whenever possible, we attempt to determine the value of the target to its current owner, as well as to our client-making assumptions for certain synergies that may be realised in an acquisition.

From LOI to Closing

From drafting the Letter of Intent (LOI) to closing, Green Park Partners moves the process forward while evaluating the due diligence materials that may confirm or disprove our initial assumptions thereby securing that the eventual transaction will be entered into on the best possible terms and with the minimum of risk.

Management Buy-Out (MBO)

There are many situations where the best possible solution for a business involves a sale of equity to the Company's management team. These transactions take many forms, including buy-outs and buy-ins. The professionals at Green Park Partners have completed many such transactions on behalf of clients.

Our extensive experience with structuring these transactions, including transactions involving third-party financial sponsors (a private equity firm, lender, or other entity), enables Green Park Partners to provide our clients with multiple options for liquidity and succession planning.

Financing an Acquisition

When you want to acquire a business and need capital to fund the purchase, Green Park Partners helps you analyse and choose from among the many equity and debt options. We assist you in understanding key factors, such as current conditions in the debt and equity markets, the appropriate valuation for the business you're acquiring, and the tradeoffs involved with debt or equity financing. Finally, we leverage our extensive network of capital sources to connect you with appropriate capital sources, and we guide you through the entire funding process.

Valuation Analysis

Placing a realistic valuation on a business you're acquiring is crucial to the success of an acquisition and your ability to finance that acquisition. Green Park Partners provides a comprehensive set of tools and perspectives to the valuations of businesses.

We employ several methodologies in every valuation analysis, providing you with all the internal and external data needed to make a sound acquisition decision. We document our valuations in a comprehensive report, appropriate to the scope of the assignment.

Strategic Consulting

If you are seeking a better understanding of the opportunities before venturing into the acquisitions market, Green Park Partners can provide valuable counsel. We help identify and carefully analyse all your potential acquisition options. We review strategic alternatives, size business opportunities, and determine what type of business would add the most to shareholder value. We also determine the value and availability of potential acquisitions. With our unique combination of financial and operating experience, we are skilled at helping you develop viable acquisition strategies to assure you pay the right price for the right acquisition.
