Blum & Co. offers independent, objective strategic and financial advice, based on close working relationships with its clients. Blum & Co. is customer-oriented, and advises and acts on opportunities from the perspective of its clients' long-term interests.
We provide the full range of merger, acquisition, sale, and divestiture advice and the active management of the complex process required to buy and/or sell assets, subsidiaries, or entire companies. Our skills are sharp both from long experience in this business and from numerous recent successful transactions.
We actively guide clients through the intricacies of divesting holdings they no longer wish to own, guiding and, where appropriate, managing the entire process from strategic analysis of just what to sell and how to sell it - to making sure the check clears at closing.
Our experience enables us to succeed even where many others fail – in selling complex or difficult companies, where particular expertise is required to understand the value in what is being sold, to package that value, to recognize who might pay the most for that value, and to conduct the sale process in a way that attracts the right buyer and the right price.
The key is our rare combination of substantive expertise and process experience. We not only know how things should be done, but why, and when they should be done differently.
As a result, some of our advice is more subtle, based on increasing value as well as realizing value through detailed knowledge of particular industries, markets and trends-e.g., the best ways to strengthen a company's lines of business, in the U. S. and abroad:
- If those ways include joint ventures or other alliances, how to identify and develop the best partners and alliance structures, and how best to make the enterprise perform well.
- If those ways include mergers, or other combinations such as acquisitions, how to find and buy the best targets.
A key element of advice in acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, joint ventures and financings is expert valuation. We provide advice on valuations for both publicly and privately held companies, divisions, and securities - for acquirers, sellers, and for equity-related financings. Our advice helps provide a sound basis for resolving controversies concerning the valuation of corporations, partnerships, and such intangible assets as technology and marketing rights.
