Consulting Services

The Transaction and the Transition -- Advent will work with you to find a buyer/seller, to structure the financial package and to negotiate the transition arrangement best suited to your situation. The flexible nature of our approach helps you get maximum benefit from the transaction and the transition plan.

Valuation Services -- You need to have solid information on the worth of your business, or a potential acquisition, long before you even begin to think about a transaction. Each valuation we prepare includes a variety of valuation approaches, including: discounted cash flow, comparable sales (if available), asset based and valuation model approaches. We give you the hard facts you need to approach potential buyers or, whether they are strategic or economic buyers. On the “buy” side, we know where to look for real value and what to discount.

The Legacy Plan -- If you plan to sell your business soon, or within the next five years, you should consider Advent's Legacy Planning process. The Legacy Plan lets you better decide when, to whom, how, why and for how much to sell your business. We work with you to craft the strategic business decisions needed each step of the way. And, we represent you in negotiating the sale. This includes working with your accountant, your attorney and your financial planner to incorporate their expertise, making the plan complete. It’s all about creating more of options for you, options you won't get if you merely hang out a For Sale sign.
