Mergers & Acquisitions Consulting

Nicholson & Associates provides consulting services to companies approached by potential buyers or merger partners. We determine the feasibility of acquisition and advise sellers throughout the transaction. We can stay behind the scenes or take the lead role, depending on your needs.

Real-Life Consulting Examples of M&A Assignments

• A consulting firm was approached by an out-of-state competitor for merger discussions. Nicholson & Associates gathered information from both parties, performed a financial analysis, interviewed partners, developed possible structures for a combined company and considered cost savings and synergistic gains. Although the financials worked, cultural differences forestalled the transaction.
• An electrical products supplier was approached by a dominant competitor. The large firm, an experienced buyer, was consolidating the industry by purchasing smaller companies. Since the small firm had never been through the sales process, Nicholson & Associates served as a behind-the-scenes advisor. The transaction closed successfully and the owner received a high price for his business.
