Mergers & Acquisitions Division

Mergers & Acquisitions
The Mergers & Acquisitions Division works with companies whose value is between $1 million and $20 million and are Manufacturing, Wholesale Distributions, and Business to Business Service type businesses.

Selling a Business
Selling your business is the most important decision you will make in your life and in some cases a once in a lifetime event.  We offer complete advisory services performed in a strictly confidential manner.  If you are thinking of selling, give us a call.  Also go to the Seller section within this website to educate yourself on the process.
Selling a medium sized company (>$1 million) has additional steps and takes more time versus a small sized company.  This is due primarily to the size of the transaction, financing requirements, due diligence, and additional methods in marketing the business for sale.

Business Valuations
How much is your business worth?  Determining the fair market value of the business is an important first step.  We have the knowledge and experience to advise in these matters and to prepare the valuation of a business.  Carrara coupled with it’s third party certified business appraiser will recast the financial statements and determine the value.  This is necessary for banks or SBA financing to qualify or pre-qualify for business loans. 

Pricing a Business
Getting the highest price that the market will bring is important to anyone selling their business.  We can’t tell you what that price will be in the end, but we can give you some guidelines on how to set a price, terms and other conditions.  We can also advise you on how to prepare your business for sale to maximize its value to a potential buyer.

Consulting Services
The decision to sell one’s business is a serious step.  We can advise you about current market conditions, pricing and structuring the business so it will sell.  We can also assist it getting it ready for sale and answer any other questions you might have.

We provide a full array of consulting services to those businesses who may not be ready for sale at this moment of time (perhaps in 2-3 years) or want to improve and position the business for long term profitability.  We solve your problems and produce results.  We implement strategies to improve your bottom line.  We are different in that we do not charge by the hour.  We provide a firm quote based upon the project or service requested.
