Merger, Acquisition & Divestiture Support
Buy Side – Light touch to full lender ready reporting
In today’s competitive deal environment we believe there is a need for a quick and cost effective due diligence read for buy side opportunities without the higher costs of the larger due diligence providers in the market. This can be particularly true for add on acquisitions where a full scope lender ready report may not be required. Morningside has the capabilities to provide concise and impactful analysis that aids in quick go / no go decision making. Should you decide to move forward with a deal, we can leverage and enhance our initial findings towards completing a more fulsome workplan and reporting.
Sell Side – Vendor assistance to full vendor due diligence reporting
Prior to selling a business, Morningside can provide perspective on potential deal issues and opportunities to help sellers achieve a better outcome. With time and access these insights can add significantly to seller proceeds. Further in the support of a sale transaction, Morningside can help you prepare the information needed to give potential buyers what is required of the process and avoid surprises. If requested, we can also provide a full vendor due diligence reporting that will show the complete picture and health of your business.
Post closing deal support
The deal isn’t complete upon the closing of the transaction. Often times there are provisions in the agreement that can significantly impact the final economics of the buyer and seller alike following the initial closing of the deal. While many of these matters can be straight forward, there are many which are not. Our team has the experience in working through these matters in order to achieve a structured and orderly resolution.
