Transfer

Beyond the technical and financial aspects, the sale of a company requires a perfect understanding of its economic model, its strengths, its weaknesses, its prospects and the context of the sale.

And above all, it requires negotiation skills, tact and excellent interpersonal skills. At Arcéane, we have proven experience and technical expertise, and above all, we are skilled negotiators.

Throughout the process, in addition to our business transfer advice, we are the interface between all the interlocutors, buyers, advisors, lawyers, accountants, financial partners, whom we gradually bring to conclusion, whatever the dissensions, with perseverance and determination.

The stages of a sale

  • Economic analysis
  • Reflection on the disposal strategy
  • Company valuation
  • Research, evaluation and selection of buyers
  • Conduct of negotiations
  • Financial arrangement of the sale

Our goal

Optimize the transfer as a whole for you and your business from a tax, asset and economic perspective.

Together, we specify your expectations and the key points of your project and we ensure:

  • Remain in control of your operation time
  • Secure all steps until the conclusion of the transaction
  • Examine all the impacts of your project: heritage, economic, fiscal and legal
  • Stay in a strong position in negotiations, do not waste time

Our commitment: the assurance of a successful operation!

Merging-acquisition

Arcéane manages the stages and interventions of advice (legal, tax, accounting or others) and financiers to guarantee consistency in your negotiations with the various stakeholders.

You have at your side a completely independent partner who will be proactive at each stage to make your acquisition more reliable.

The stages of an acquisition

  • Determining targets in complete agreement with your strategy and their approach constitutes the first step in what can be compared to a long-distance race.
  • An in-depth economic analysis, coupled with detailed strategic reflection, is essential before any position is taken, before the valuation stage.
  • Then, the letter of intent marks the point of engagement in the negotiation phase.
  • At the same time, the financial arrangement and the search for financing will ensure a calm closing.

Ask for your copy of the White Paper written by business executives for business executives.

Our goal

Find the right target and optimize the economic, legal and financial conditions of your acquisition.

Acquisition, like all high balance sheet operations, is a time-consuming activity, and our support guarantees you not only to save time and keep your energy for your operation, but also to be master of the time of your operation. Our experience ensures you secure all stages until the final signing of the “deal”.

Our merger-acquisition consulting expertise leads us to examine all the impacts of your project: strategic, patrimonial, economic, tax and legal. Our desire is to put you in a position of strength in the negotiations with a view to reaching an agreement.

Our commitment: the right target in the best conditions

Business valuation

How much is my business worth?

Valuing a company is a complex exercise and many elements must be taken into account to assess its value.

To value a company, you must choose the right valuation method and make the right assumptions. The balance sheet of a company as well as the income statement fairly accurately represent the economic reality of the company and are the starting point for calculating the value of a company.

How to calculate the value of your business?

Company valuation techniques can be grouped into 3 main families:

  • Valuation according to the company's assets
  • Valuation according to the company's profitability ratios
  • Valuation according to the cash flows generated or expected.

Ask for your copy of the White Paper written by business executives for business executives.

What price should you pay for a business?

The price paid by a buyer is very rarely the average of the values obtained by the different business valuation methods. So how do you calculate the price of a business?

We must distinguish price and value of the business!

The value of a company results from the choice of a valuation method, assumptions and calculation parameters.

The price is the value obtained on which both parties agree. It can be influenced by the market: for example, the price in a predominantly “buyer” market will tend to be higher than its estimated value.
It also depends on the interest of the buyers: a buyer can grant a bonus to become the market leader or acquire a key technology for the growth of its company.
