Middle South’s proactive acquisition program is proven to result in successful acquisitions that focus on the ultimate objective-increasing the economic value of the acquiring entity or individual. To improve the probability of success, and avoid costly mistakes, Middle South provides the specialized multidisciplinary expertise that a results oriented acquisition program requires, and we help you save both time and money in the process. A successful acquisition seldom "just happens." It requires careful coordination and implementation of an acquisition program designed to achieve your strategic objectives. In the acquisition process, Middle South’s role would, based on client needs, include:

Planning - Create the acquisition plan that offers clear advantages over achieving the same objectives through internal growth. Time savings and cost management should always favor corporate growth by synergistic acquisition  -  it is easier to buy growth than generate it internally. Other benefits may include cost sharing, geographic and market extension, technology and product line enhancement and marketing synergy. Middle South will help you establish the key criteria and develop a profile of the ideal acquisition candidate.

Prospect Discovery - Middle South will apply proven search and screening methods to narrow the field of candidates to those companies that are strategically attractive, motivated and educated as to the advantages of successful mergers and acquisitions. Middle South’s proprietary database and in-house research capabilities provide complete domestic and international access to desirable prospects. Typically 80% of the acquisition candidates will emerge from the invisible group of companies that are considering selling but have not yet committed to the traditional business sales process. Middle South's professional expertise will make it easy to collect the information necessary for a complete understanding of the prospect's business.

Valuation/Preliminary Due Diligence - Middle South performs financial analysis and valuation procedures consistent with established financial theory to estimate a candidate's value. We also develop discounted cash flow and pro forma financial models to determine the profitability potential, strategic value and worth to your business in order to determine a negotiating range and strategy.

Negotiating the Transaction - When the combination benefits are fully understood by both parties, Middle South assists in the formulation and structuring of the offer and handles negotiations with a view to preserving the key success factors and intangible value of the combined entities. Middle South's transaction experience and full time activity in the M&A market serves an experiential basis to integrate price considerations, terms and other issues into a structure designed to optimize the tax and financial benefits of the sale. Our goal is to reach win/win solutions to the issues that often obstruct the consummation of a mutually desirable transaction.

Acquisition Process Management - Middle South facilitates and coordinates due diligence, legal documentation and environmental audits to expedite transaction completion.
