M&A Negotiations: When You’ve Already Been Approached

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Congratulations, you have an offer on the table! Now what? A single offer is the most difficult type of deal to negotiate for the highest price. You have no leverage and no options – your business sense will tell you that this is a risky hand to play.

You will be under a limited timeframe after you receive an offer (in writing). From that point on, the clock will be ticking and you will either need to see what other options you have or try your hand negotiating with the current suitor.

We’ve created the M&A Negotiation service to even the playing field by generating competing bids and providing options / alternatives.

M&A Negotiation Service: Bringing competition to the table

Our process is more than just transactional assistance or M&A negotiations. Business owners who have already received an offer can enlist BCMS’ M&A Negotiation service to include:

  • Focused research: Our research team will select the most likely complementary acquirers from our database of more than 55 million companies.
  • Targeted marketing: Our marketers get to work quickly calling the head dealmakers at these firms to engage them in the M&A negotiations, elicit additional offers and provide choice. The mere presence of other bidders in the M&A negotiations will provide invaluable leverage.
  • Compelling business plans highlight future value: Our deal team produces marketing documents and business plans that focus on the future opportunity that your business offers. 
  • Direct M&A negotiations: Our M&A negotiators work with you to leverage competitive offers in order to maximize the sale price for your company. We also maintain and manage your relationship with the initial bidder.
  • Closing the deal: Once the M&A negotiation is complete, we see you through the final stages of the sale, including advising you through due diligence and completion.
