Wyatt Matas & Associates was selected to advise an $18 million home healthcare company on developing the capital structure to acquire multiple home healthcare agencies across the Mid-Atlantic. On behalf of the company, Wyatt Matas & Associates managed the acquisition of four home healthcare agencies and one hospice agency over the course of 18 months.
Buying a business requires a persistent approach to managing the process, actively managing the relationships with potential sellers and an ability to assess risks. Because of the time commitment it takes to pursue potential acquisition opportunities, many of our clients find it effective to outsource their business development function to Wyatt Matas & Associates. Our ability to access sellers before they decide to take their company to market allows buyers to circumvent the competitive bidding process and enables them to acquire companies at reasonable valuations.
Because we only take buy-side engagements where we manage the entire process, our clients are able to increase the probability of a successful acquisition by taking full advantage of our acquisition management capabilities, which include:
- Identifying a qualified database of targets
- Providing comparison analysis and risk profiles of targets
- Valuation analysis
- Negotiating the terms of the letter of intent
- Coordinating the due diligence process
- Assisting in framing the most advantageous capital structure
- Identifying potential growth opportunities post-transaction
