Burnham investment bankers have deep experience in advising purchasers, sellers, divesters and management teams during business combinations.
Acquisition advice and acquisition searches.
Our services can range from advice on targeted acquisitions to devising and executing an acquisition search. When we advise on the potential acquisition of a target company or of certain assets, we are prepared to screen and evaluate potential acquisition targets, advise on value, suggest financial and strategic alternatives, assist in the preparation of an expression of interest and render, if appropriate, fairness opinions. We are also prepared to advise as to the timing, structure, financing and pricing of a proposed acquisition and assist in negotiating and closing the acquisition. Throughout the process, we work collaboratively with our clients’ legal, accounting and other advisors.
Divestiture or sale transactions.
When undertaking a sale or divesture assignment, Burnham bankers work with our client to clarify objectives and maximize results. When we advise clients who contemplate the sale of certain businesses, assets or their entire company, we are prepared to evaluate and recommend financial and strategic alternatives with respect to a sale, advise on the appropriate process and valuation approaches for the situation, assist in preparing an offering memorandum or other appropriate sales materials, evaluate offers and render, if appropriate, fairness opinions. We also identify, contact and help qualify selected acquirers and assist in negotiating and closing the sale. Throughout the process, we work collaboratively with our clients’ legal, accounting and other advisors.
