Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity cleared the $1 trillion hurdle in the first half of 2007. Private equity, hedge funds, investment banks and strategic companies have been busy doing both large cap and middle market transactions. While 2006 was a record-breaking year in terms of M&A (close to $1.6 trillion worth of transactions were conducted worldwide), all indicators point toward an even higher level of M&A activity for 2007.  However, its been a dismal 2008 and much of 2009 for the M&A space.

With the extremely tight funding market, its challenging even for the best of companies to raise capital for acquisition or merging activities.  AllFundingOptions.com team has found funding sources and aligned funds for the buy side of M&A, whereby we can demonstrate our clients are growing in a challenging environment --- this enhances the ability to attract the funds to support further growth through attractive acquisitions.

It is the best time for companies with a good balance sheet and cash flow to acquire strategic companies for growth.  Most private firms are selling based on earnings or one times cash flow.  These are compelling times to acquire good companies.

AllFundingOptions.com brings the cash required for the transaction.  Our clients typically have 10% - 25% of liquid cash assets which along with a strong balance sheet, they have already identified several companies to acquire.  Often, our clients have engaged and had several preliminary discussions with principles and stake holders of the company to be acquired.  In some cases there is a signed LOI (letter of intent) in place.

These clients typically seek equity investors, debt financing and potentially bridge loans.  A transaction such as this takes multiple sources of funds, contracts, negotiating short-term and long-term financing terms and legal work.  AllFundingOptions.com team consists of principles with both finance and legal representation.  This ensures our clients received the best value for retaining us as their investment bankers.

Typically, the process starts with an email or phone call.  Followed by email with a completed package, which requires the following information:

• Executive Summary

• Business Plan

• Financials

• Supporting Documents -- confirming cash assets, contracts, etc

• Most importantly our 20 Questions questioner filled out - REQUIRED

Once this package is send in to the AllFundingOptions.com team, our Sr. Analyst reviews the submission, and we typically get back to our potential clients with extensive feedback and comments to get clarifications.  If our client can present a case where we believe its a growth story and the potential for funding is available through our extensive relationships and sourcing networks, we setup a meeting with the principles of AllFundingOptions.com for a clarification and confirmation meeting.  Assuming this meeting goes well, we provide an investment banking terms of engagement to our client. 

Once our client signs the agreement to retain us, we typically take the ball and run with this until we have all of the requirements for our client completed.  We prepare unique packages for specific funding sources to align the clients business with the funding sources, provide market valuations and support the position, structure the financials to support growth projections and acquisition opportunities and we stand by our client to help negotiate as a trusted 3rd party to advise and support deal flow.

Funding these types of transactions typically takes anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months depending on the information and time commitment of the client and stake holders of the acquiring companies.
