Synergy Business Brokers is well-known as a premier merger and acquisition company. But what exactly does this mean? What do mergers and acquisitions brokers do? Why are we important in the selling process? Here’s what you need to know about M&A brokers and how we can help you.
The Daily Egg is a blog with a large following that rates companies and provides tips for growing businesses. They reviewed all of the top business brokerages in the United States, and they selected Synergy Business Brokers as the best for executing mergers and acquisitions. They mentioned our ability to provide accurate valuations and to get our clients’ businesses sold confidentially and efficiently.
You’ve built up your business valuation high enough that you’re ready to sell, or you are considering a merger with another company. You might have even gotten a professional business evaluation. The sale of your business is the next step. But how? Where do you sell your business, and who do you sell it to? This is where the mergers and acquisitions broker comes in.
The term “mergers and acquisitions” refers to the variety of ways you can transfer ownership of your business. In a merger, your company combines with another company to become a new entity. This new company may retain the name of the more prominent company, which absorbs the old one, or it may take on a name that combines the names of the previous two companies. The new company may even adopt a brand-new name.
In an acquisition, the more prominent company simply buys your company. Your company entity ceases to exist, and all of its assets become a part of the buying company. These essential assets typically include your employees, customers, reputation, know-how, and hard assets such as equipment, fixtures, inventory, etc.
Whichever type of situation you are in, you want to be sure you are adequately compensated for allowing another company to take control of some or all of the business assets you have worked so hard to build. A Mergers and Acquisitions brokerage company is the entity that makes sure this happens.
Just because you have gotten a business valuation that says that your company is worth a certain amount does not mean that it will be a simple process for you to get what you think the business is worth. It’s important to remember that it is individuals such as CEOs who drive mergers and acquisitions, and their appraisal of your company’s value is specific to what it can do for their company.
A good sell-side mergers and acquisitions broker has a network of companies in your industry to draw on, knows the market, and knows who to approach and how to approach them to get you the deal you want for your business.
In Mergers and Acquisitions, many different scenarios exist where a business can be joined with another business entity. The outlying situation and how the two firms are combined result in the type of merger that occurs.
Two Core Types of Mergers:
Other types of mergers are variants of these two. In all the different variables, there needs to be clarity in the transaction and established terms. A Merger & Acquisition firm is designed to assist in this transaction to ensure everything flows smoothly and the businesses are better off after the deal.
