Acquisitive strategic buyers (Corporations), Mezzanine lenders and Private Equity Companies want to make the right acquisition for the right price. That's why the buy-side due diligence process is so important. CBIZ’s Transaction Advisory Services group utilizes a rigorous due diligence methodology involving analyzing and validating financial, operational and strategic aspects of the deal, making it easier for Buyers to structure and negotiate a favorable deal. CBIZ’s Transaction Advisory Services group’s buy-side due diligence services reveal risks and opportunities so Buyers can make an informed decision about how and whether to proceed.

Additionally, Sell-side due diligence could increase your buyer's trust level and willingness to pay top dollar. But your staff may not have enough time or experience to identify and explore potential issues. And, they may not know how those issues could affect the deal's outcome. An investment in professional pre-sale due diligence will produce accurate financial information for your buyer and also address operational, technology and human resource issues that could be the difference between a successful sale and a long, potentially contentious transaction process. This is particularly true today, where due diligence efforts have intensified and buyer-identified issues can place a seller in a defensive negotiating position on price and transaction terms.

We are advisors to closely held family and investor-owned businesses in the manufacturing, technology, real estate, and healthcare spaces. V&R engagements generally last a year or more and are focused on performance improvement, building stronger partnerships and often a recapitalization, for both divestiture and acquisition. We also work with large, often national, not-for-profits as advisors on their M&A, integrations, and sustainability.

Mike Roth is a Founder and Managing Partner of V&R, a management consulting and M&A advisory firm based in Michigan. Mike Roth, Jeff Vlasic, and their now 7 partners have developed a successful M&A Advisory practice that focuses on advising multigenerational and diversely-owned businesses in the healthcare, technology, property and manufacturing spaces through the complicated growth, marketing, sale and earn out phases of a majority sale or "recap."

Mike favors challenging situations, where leadership or ownership has differing interests and post-sale plans, where a key advisor (often a CPA, FA or attorney) is interested in staying involved through the M&A process, and/or where simply auctioning to the highest bidder and discarding a legacy are not the ideal outcomes. Sell-side focused, and buy-side friendly, the V&R team seeks true partnerships and permanent, not transactional, relationships.

“A CEO-client said it best ‘I trust V&R. They stand behind our people, deliver sustainable solutions, never take credit, and always offer accountability.’ and I couldn’t say it better myself.” -Mike
