Acquisition Target? 

Helping Companies Explore Their “What if?”

Corporate Financial Planning For Growing Companies

1. Selling Your Company:  We were asked if we wanted to sell.  Now What?
   

All companies are acquisition targets!  Sometimes these opportunities appear out of the blue, and a competitor or strategic buyer has inquired about the entrepreneur’s interest in selling the business.  Lantern Capital Advisors helps companies evaluate the offer, and determine the best solution.  In addition, Lantern Capital Advisors can quickly put together an overview of the business and the financials in order to present to the inquiring entity. 

Because we offer our services on an hourly, consulting model basis, our compensation is based on our time, and not a percentage of the value of the business.

Lantern Capital Advisors helps business owners evaluate growth and financing strategies to build greater value and understand the pros and cons of many different exit strategies and alternatives.

Many owners plan to exit their business in the next 5 to 10 years.  Succession planning is inevitable for any business, and preparation  is critical.  Preparing is wise, in case an unsolicited offer or a sudden change in circumstances (health, death, divorce) dictate the need for a sale or restructuring of capital.  Issues and pre-planning such as income tax and estate planning, company valuation and pricing,  preliminary financial restructuring, and operational initiatives can all enhance the valuation and ultimately the benefits the entrepreneur receives.
