Buy Side Services

Our buy side advisory services are customized to the needs and demands of our corporate and financial buyers. We begin by first understanding your acquisition growth strategy in expansion terms (complete with milestones, benchmarks and metrics). From there we focus on your product and service offerings, infrastructure needs, operating strategies, capital requirements, geographic targets, etc. The more we know about your strategy, the more effective we can be helping you execute a successfully integrated acquisition. Our comprehensive services include prospect identification, validation and solicitation, acquisition/target company valuation, deal and consideration structuring, pro-forma financial analysis and rationalization, letter of intent preparation, deal negotiation, and financial, operational and technological due diligence. Whatever an acquirer's objective is – industry consolidation, product or service expansion – UNICON has the knowledge, operating and transaction experience and expertise to assist you in realizing your objectives.

Management Buyouts

Often, your management team is your best prospect to purchase a business. However, the team often lacks the knowledge, capital and financial relationships to independently consummate a transaction. UNICON will help these management teams in the structuring and financing of a
transaction while providing ownership the assurance that they received a fair, competitive value for the business.
