The 4 Phases to expect during the acquisition process
Initial Partnership Discussions
An essential phase in the acquisition process involves identifying a valuable partner and a strong two-way fit. Introductory meetings are arranged to obtain a baseline understanding of your company and your priorities. A strategic approach to these discussions, coupled with goal-setting, serves as a valuable method to validate options and pave the way for a successful acquisition.
Letter of Interest
After the indication of interest and business reviews happen, and we move forward in the process, a formal Letter of Interest (LOI) will come from American Restoration. An LOI is a document outlining the preliminary agreement between the buyer's and seller's serious interest regarding the key terms and conditions of a potential transaction. It signifies the buyer's serious interest in acquiring the business and typically includes details such as price, timeline, and any contingencies. This allows the due diligence process to proceed.
Due Diligence
A comprehensive process analyzes the value, risks, and operational integrity of your business and assets before finalizing a transaction. The purpose of due diligence is to ensure that we have all the necessary information to make an informed decision and to identify any potential issues that could affect the terms or viability of a deal. In anticipation of a successful close, our integration team will begin to work with you through every step of the integration process, ensuring uninterrupted business operations. Concurrently this phase marks the initiation and development of a Definitive Purchase Agreement (DPA).
Closing & Integration
After the DPA has been agreed upon and due diligence has been completed, the date for signing and closing is set. Once all funds have been transferred and announcements made, we will begin to work with you to develop a successful integration plan and welcome your team to the American Restoration family.
