Why do you need an advisor?
When you’re starting out in business, you expect to make mistakes. You learn, grow and adjust. That’s a luxury you don’t have when it’s time to sell. You usually have only one chance to do things right. Having a HORNE Capital advisor in your corner can make a tremendous impact on your ability to quickly spot mistakes and opportunities — and on how much you ultimately net from the sale of your business.
A Broader Perspective
As an affiliate of a Top 30 CPA firm, we look beyond negotiating a price and finalizing a transaction. We help sellers grasp the full tax ramifications of different deal structures and formulate a tax and investment strategy that will maximize the net proceeds of their sale. For buyers, we help analyze the viability of their acquisition and offer support services that enable them to seamlessly integrate a new acquisition into their existing operations.
A Value-Based Approach
Most M&A firms charge a percentage of the transaction price as their fee. At HORNE Capital, we earn our keep. We have an established record of working to ensure that the net financial benefit we bring to our clients far exceeds our fees. We do this by attracting a wider pool of qualified buyers, negotiating an optimum selling price, controlling tax exposure, structuring favorable terms and avoiding the pitfalls that many businesses encounter during the M&A process.
An Objective Advocate
For business owners, selling a company they’ve taken decades to build can be an emotional experience. As your advisor, we keep you focused on your end goals. We help you rise above the emotions you may feel during negotiations and maintain a sense of objectivity and practicality. We work together to secure the best feasible terms for the sale of your business.
For most of our clients, buying or selling a business is literally a once-in-a-lifetime transaction. Our job is to make sure they have the right people at the table so they can make informed decisions every step of the way.
Sometimes experience speaks for itself.
