We help our clients develop their strategic financial plans and we help execute
the transactions called for by those plans.
Strategic Financial Planning
Acquest works with senior management, investors, and entrepreneurs to formulate business
development plans that serve as a roadmap to the next level of success. We help our
clients crystallize their essential competitive opportunity and identify their core
strengths. We help incorporate this critical knowledge into a disciplined, clear
and tightly reasoned strategic plan. This plan will identify a range of actions,
which may include key organizational matters, capital raising, strategic alliances,
acquisitions, divestitures or outright mergers of businesses. Acquest stands ready
to implement the strategic transactions called for by those plans.
Capital Raises
Acquest works with its clients to develop and implement a capital plan that addresses
the needs of the company while optimizing the value to the existing shareholders,
taking into account:
 |
Timing and amount of capital raises |
|
Capital structure and deal structuring |
|
Sources of capital — "who" is as important as "how" and "how
much" |
Acquest will always fully examine the alternative of attracting a strategic investment
partner from within your industry or a related sector. We also draw upon our extensive
contacts among capital providers of every stripe, including private
equity groups and venture capital funds, traditional lenders, mezzanine lenders,
foreign investors and others.
Strategic Alliances and Joint Ventures
Today, nearly every successful business model involves strategic alliances. Your
"partners" may be manufacturers, distributors, marketing partners (co-branding
or co-marketing) or others. These relationships can be purely functional or may also
include financing or cross-ownership. Acquest assists you in designing your strategic
alliance architecture, finding the right partners, and making the deals to your best
advantage.
Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures
This is our heritage. Since 1993 Acquest International has been involved in more
than 60 mergers and acquisition transactions. See the complete section on Mergers
and Acquisitions. Whether this is your only need or a part of your complete
strategic plan, your Acquest International advisor will bring decades of experience
to your situation.
