6 Ways We Add Value

First

We have an exclusive network of buyers that we call on when we are selling a client’s firm. These buyer relationships represent the culmination of years of experience in closing transactions. Such relationships further enable us to take the pulse of the acquisition market for any particular company.

Second

We advise clients on the optimal price and structure of each transaction. Our level of sophistication and our expertise in accounting, law and finance enable us to bring a powerful, inter-disciplinary approach to working with clients. This sophistication and expertise set us apart.

Third

We add value through our expertise in the industry. Whether the expertise is in the software, health care, technology, manufacturing or distribution industries, A&C brings a broad depth and strength of analysis that is unmatched in the financial community. Our expertise enables us to add the highest value to our clients.

Fourth

We obtain optimal structure for our clients by following our proprietary M&A process. Our proprietary method of handling transactions truly differentiates us from our competition and ensures that we maximize value for our clients. Our process is the standard in the industry.

Fifth

We add value throughout the due diligence effort. Because we are so thorough in the initial stages of our work, we try to anticipate the questions and issues that may arise from buyers in later stages of a transaction. With the accounting, financial and legal expertise on staff, we work to identify and address issues and pitfalls before they arise.

Finally

During the closing process, we work to preserve and enhance the value and deal structure that we have assembled. The total value of our representation is most evident to clients after the closing occurs.

In Real Terms

One may ask, how then does this translate into value-added to our clients? In one transaction, for example, Aldredge & Co. added more than 40 times the value of our fee to our client. In other words, for every dollar spent by our client on our fee, our client realized more than a 40-fold increase in value that he would not have otherwise received. In typical cases, our firm may add between 10 and 25 times the value of our fee to a client.

We are able to generate the most optimal value for our clients.
