Internal development is not always sufficient to grow the family business. Many of our clients, whose businesses have been successful for many years, routinely consider acquisitions in order to meet their financial and strategic objectives; others are approached to sell their businesses. Audientis listens carefully to fully understand your merger or acquisition goals, then we assist in the design of the growth or contraction objectives and understanding their implications. Once established, Audientis develops a plan and assists in implementation. Because of our thorough knowledge of the family business and the market, our success in estate and continuity plans for the family is unparalleled.
We will provide you with a complete analysis on the best corporate structure in anticipation of future acquisitions and/or opening of new markets organically. As part of this planning process, we will:
• Review all current corporate agreements
• Evaluate business lines
• Review financial restrictions
• Assess liabilities, both corporate and individual
• Understand business and opportunity flexibility
• Address tax consequences
• Provide management retentions issues/benefits
