External Transition Advisory
As a continuation of the Professional Services ATI Capital Group, Inc. ("ATI") has to offer in the area of Corporate Transition Strategies, Corporate Financial Consulting services such as; sell side advisory, merger and acquisition services, private placements, exit strategy analysis, and strategic benchmarking for value, provide substantial value to the business owner.
Our unique position of independent advisor, combined with our knowledge of finance, tax, accounting and valuation allows ATI to offer an independent analysis of your options. Our feasibility study has the ability to analyze multiple projections and calculate the value of your privately held corporate under multiple “value worlds” for clear and concise transition decisions. For example, when selling to a strategic buyer, fair market value is not an appropriate value conclusion; but is a taxable strategic sale going to yield higher net proceeds to you than a “pre-tax” fair market value sale to a third party? We have the ability to tell you! Likewise, what is investment value and how does that compare to fair market value? These questions and many more are of the utmost importance when considering the sale or transfer of your privately held company. We are deeply knowledgeable, professional and are truly independent working with your advisors to see to it your financial result is maximized.
