Corporate Buy-Outs
Selling a business is a complicated and difficult process. Finding a buyer. Deciding between an asset sale and
a stock sale. Determining the tax implications. The challenges are endless. The solutions complex.
One thing is clear – business owners want to maximize their reward. After building a company through years of hard work, the paramount goal is to maximize the return to the selling shareholders.
To achieve this objective, Matheson Equity offers business owners a clean, compliant exit strategy that provides superior returns.
As an international integrated financial services firm, Matheson Equity specializes in the acquisition of domestic- or foreign-owned US C-corporations that have sold their business assets in separate transactions.
How It Works
The process is simple:
- In an independent transaction, a closely held US C-corporation sells its business assets to a separate third party
- Matheson Equity performs in-depth due diligence on the corporation, reviewing shares issued and outstanding, actual and contingent liabilities, etc.
- Following the preceding, unrelated asset sale, Matheson Equity offers a fair market price for the remaining corporate structure, including cash resulting from the asset sale, liabilities, representations, warranties, etc., with independently raised capital
- Matheson Equity positions the acquired corporation into a new line of business for long-term economic purpose in profit-seeking ventures in its strategic portfolio, which includes growth companies, publicly traded equities and debt, venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, and conventional loss assets
