Focus On Value Creation Instead of Hassling with Spreadsheets

DealSense allows you to focus on strategic thinking, value creation and risk management, by freeing you from the hassles of spreadsheet maintenance and formula writing. You will save time and reduce stress by preparing a comprehensive acquisition analysis and plan that includes:

  •    An insightful, detailed analysis and evaluation of the company's performance and financial position.
  •    A thoughtful and supportable forecast of the company's future earnings under existing ownership and management.
  •    An estimate of market value for the candidate using professionally accepted valuation methods and multiple earnings streams.
  •    A reasonable purchase price using market value and required investment hurdle rates as a foundation.
  •    Deal terms and structure that minimize risk.
  •    An estimate of the costs of the transaction and their impact on projected returns.
  •    A financing plan tailored to the cash flow and funding capacity of the company that includes short-term, long-term, equity and equity kickers.
  •    A new set of operating assumptions for each income statement and balance sheet line item.
  •    Detailed, forward-looking financial statements based upon price, deal terms, financing activities and new operating assumptions.
  •    An assessment of the risks of the post-acquisition forecast.
  •    A review and analysis of the cash flows to investors and IRR that includes convertible debt and options/warrants.
  •    An effective and credible way to communicate with management, team members and funding sources.
  • The valuation component of DealSense was designed in collaboration with Practitioner Publishing Company (a Thomson Company) and conforms to their "Guide to Business Valuations", edited by Dr. Shannon Pratt and other highly recognized valuation authorities.
