Mergers and Acquisitions

Buying or selling a business is a complex process that involves many complicated decisions and coordination with other professionals such as brokers, attorneys, and bankers. It is essential to have a thorough valuation of the business before beginning this process. Whether you want to merge with another company, purchase a business, or sell a business, you need to know its value.

Many elements are involved in this calculation, which need to be addressed in order to maximize your investment. A formal valuation of the business is a vital component for any proposed transaction. The business valuation, consulting, and tax professionals of MHP can play a key role in these transactions. These valuations are most often based on historical financial data as well as future business and market expectations. This requires the performance of due diligence procedures on the target company’s tax and financial records to ensure the value and quality of the asset being transacted. Also involved in these complex transactions is the tax structure of the deal. These are areas in which our audit, consulting, and tax professionals have extensive experience and can be a great asset to clients throughout the transaction process.
