M&A Advisory
Centennial provides trusted advice and guidance from seller preparation to strategic positioning, target identification, transaction execution, and business integration - ensuring the seller is prepared, the buyer is diligent, the process is efficient, and the parties remain focused on strategic fit, value creation, material deal terms, and successful integration. Centennial assists clients on either the sell-side or the buy-side of transactions and can oversee the entire transaction process, including the coordination of work associated with other independent advisors (e.g., legal, accounting, tax). CPC generally focuses on businesses with enterprise values from $10 million up to $300 million and higher and can draw on the broad experience of its partners with transactions ranging in size from $1 million to $3 billion.
Sell-Side Advisory: On the sell-side, potential services include, but are not limited to, business and market assessment, target identification and evaluation, financial and valuation modeling, preparation of management presentation and information memorandum, assembly and review of data room, and evaluation and negotiation of transaction terms and conditions. Centennial's advice with respect to pricing and bids is analytically rigorous and unbiased.
Buy-Side Advisory: On the buy-side, the team is efficient and effective at identifying potential acquisition or combination partners. After approaching a target and evaluating its fit with the client’s objectives, Centennial can provide valuation assistance, mediate discussions between the parties, prepare the term sheet and letter of intent, coordinate and oversee due diligence, and bring the transaction to an efficient close. Centennial can also assist in obtaining financing required to complete a merger or acquisition, including serving as placement agent with respect to debt or equity associated with a transaction.
