Services for Businesses

Stann Financial offers a wide range of consulting services. While your time should be dedicated to the growth of your company, we can assist you in many of the following areas:

Merger, Acquisition(Buy), and Sell Side Advice

Every merger, acquisition and joint venture transaction requires a unique approach to optimize success.  On the sell-side, attractive businesses with proprietary products and services often can maximize sales value using an "auction" approach to a sale.  Yet there are usually other factors important to the seller, such as the impact on employees or company image.  Of greater challenge are the sales of small, niche business that require tailored sell-side planning.  On the buy-side, there are goals to achieve in addition to minimizing the price.  For example, the goodwill of a long-time owner may solidify the new owner's position in the market place.  In some instances, it makes sense to work together in the form of a joint venture prior to acquisition.  No matter what the goals of our clients are, we strive to provide realistic advice and to facilitate successful closings.
