Corporate Advisory
Mergers and Acquisitions
Whether motivated by legacy requirements, financial need, or desire to enhance a current competitive advantage, merger and acquisition success for middle market companies is highly dependent on having appropriate financial strategies and oversight processes. A disciplined approach to the acquisition process is vital to ensure success.
Through our extensive domestic and international network with investment banks and associated corporate financial institutions, we present appropriate solutions to achieve our clients’ goals. Our professionals perform due diligence with objectivity and insight to control overall risk. Our skill sets enable us to create and consult on complex transactions while assessing intangibles such as chemistry and synergy which are often overlooked, and critical to the integration success.
Acquisition Diligence & Integration
Even Fortune 1000 companies with dedicated in-house acquisition teams are challenged with the integration process and the ability to achieve forecasted accretive results. Since its inception in 2005, CoMetrics has performed the diligence, assisted in the negotiation and integrated a significant number of acquisitions on behalf of clients. Our integration process commences in the diligence stage, working closely alongside ownership, the internal IT, Finance and Operations teams to develop the optimal integration plan. We design our integration model to anticipate problems and avoid mistakes. Our due diligence team consists of both financial and operational professionals uniquely qualified to assess not only the historical financial performance of the target, but also the operations and integration risk.
Corporate Finance
Even those companies that have achieved operational excellence can fall victim to liquidity shortfalls and the inability to access capital. Our creativity provides financial flexibility and solutions which can be the difference between flourishing and failure in today’s economic environment. Serving as an extension of our clients’ finance teams, we provide the expertise necessary to effectively negotiate with lenders and other capital providers, while providing an overall corporate financial structured package which best suits our clientele. We assist in the preparation of key work products necessary to facilitate timely access to capital such as detailed financial projection models with accompanying summaries and management presentations. Our global network avails our clients to a diverse group of lenders and capital sources depending on specific requirements and capital structure.
International Business Development
Developing international strategies for foreign markets provides significant opportunities for middle market companies, particularly with the weak dollar and US government incentives promoting exports. Cometrics Advisory provides assistance and expertise in navigating the myriad of regulatory, currency, tax and distribution nuances in foreign markets. With our extensive global experience and focus on the Asian marketplace we have worked with clients on international trade financing strategies to obtain significant unsecured credit enhancements.
