A corporate merger or acquisition is more than just a transaction; it’s a turning point. When properly structured and executed, the deal can lead to a period of accelerated growth. However, when it is ill conceived or over-priced, the results can be disastrous. Beringea understands the importance of its position as a financial advisor and believes that it is sometimes more important to stop a deal than it is to complete one.

As such, Beringea's merger and acquisition practice does more than negotiate and execute transactions. We first learn the fundamental essence of each client as well as the rationale behind its corporate development strategy. This knowledge, when combined with Beringea's precision and tenacity, has proven to have a great impact on the probability of a successful outcome.

Beringea is widely credited for its ability to structure complex transactions in a varietyof sectors under varying market conditions.

For most companies, raising capital through a private placement can be a daunting task. Not only can it take an inordinate amount of managerial time but also bringing in an outsider can increase the anxiety of running a business. While it is important to identify the most cost effective source, it is equally crucial to ensure an industry-appropriate and user-friendly institution provides the capital.

Conditions change within the financial markets on an ongoing basis. When venturing into this dynamic arena, it is essential to rely upon business professionals with the experience and skill to keep pace with constant change. As an active and widely respected investor in the U.S. and European private equity markets, Beringea offers its clients quick and high level access to many of the world's leading sources of capital. Moreover, because of its ongoing international presence, the Firm is fully informed about pricing, trends, market conditions and new entrants.

   •  Divestures

When exiting from a business, management undergoes a period of intense financial scrutiny from outside parties. Good financial advisors know the business as well or better than the owner, in order to reap the fairest valuation, maintain the integrity of the owner's equity investment and head off potential problems in the sale process. Personal feelings connected with selling a family business, in particular, can also complicate the transaction.

Beringea understands the delicacies connected with selling a business or unit, and will protect the seller while seeking the fairest and more agreeable outcome.

   •  Due Diligence

Our due diligence advisory services generate quantifiable, value-added results for clients via one or more of the following:

  • Quality of Earnings adjustments to reported EBITDA
  • Quality of Assets adjustments to Net Assets
  • Identified working capital requirements or improvements

  • Modifications to purchase and sale agreements
  • Purchase price adjustments
  • Proposed structuring alternatives

Each due diligence engagement is tailored to address the unique risks of the transaction.
