Mergers and Acquisitions

Ipswich Bay Company has broad advisory experience on both the buy and the sell side of the M&A market.

Corporate acquisitions may increase revenues as a way to improve earnings, particularly where operating cost custs have been exhausted; they may improve productivity by increasing size and economies of scale; they may serve stragegically to improve market focus or the basket of services customers require; they may even serve to make the enterprise more attractive to capital and finance markets.

Corporate divestitures or mergers may increase earnings, efficiencies, cash for investment or simply to harvest exit value. As larger corporations improve focus, spin-offs provide fruitful opportunities for buyouts for managers or third party investors.

When this client decides to monetize his years of hard work by sellilng the enterprise, Ipswich Bay Company will provide the specialized "tools" as well as the negotiation skills required to achieve the best price (or funds cost) available in the market.
