How We Work

Our Corporate Advisory and Investment Banking experts work together to help you achieve your business goals at every stage in the life of your business. Whether you’re ready to sell, looking to attract liquidity through a recapitalization, or eager to optimize your business’s current value and growth potential, CCA’s approach pairs the right experts, capabilities, and services—so you’re prepared to seize opportunities when the time is right.

No matter where your business is in its lifecycle, CCA’s holistic, structured, collaborative approach can help you create and unlock greater shareholder value.

Our approach typically includes activities like these:

1.) Discovery Process

We identify what drives or detracts from the value of your business specifically, through a discovery process that uses open-ended questions and active listening to understand your objectives, challenges, and pain points. Then we identify and put in place proven strategies and processes for maximizing shareholder value.

2.) Valuation Assessment

We apply our rigorous, proprietary methodology to perform an objective assessment of your business value, rooted in quantitative and qualitative analysis. A sound, realistic valuation underlies everything we do, serving as the foundation for making the most informed decisions about your business.

3.) Liquidity Options

We evaluate the feasibility of various liquidity opportunities—including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, ESOPs, management buy-outs and recapitalization—in the context of a complex, sophisticated M&A market.

4.) Business Sale

When it’s time to sell, we help you achieve the best possible outcome—preparing you for a rigorous due diligence process, identifying suitable buyers, developing documentation that best reflects your value, reviewing and negotiating offers, and guiding you to a successful sale completion.
