Most often, we are hired by companies and entrepreneurs interested in selling their businesses, buying other companies, raising capital or developing multi-year strategies. Once we get to know our clients, however, we frequently uncover unexpected opportunities that our clients are able to leverage to exceed their original goals. Whether setting up a joint venture in South America, implementing steps that will increase a company’s value before a transaction closes or working to ensure long-term growth , we are committed to maximizing each client’s potential.
Astor Group has helped some of the world’s leading companies and investors execute acquisitions from start to finish. Typical activities include: identifying acquisition candidates, benchmarking market value, negotiating deal terms and preparing for post-closing integration.
Astor Group has deep expertise supporting domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions and helping owners obtain liquidity events with exceptional terms. To craft the best transaction, we develop a thorough understanding of each client’s goals, conduct exhaustive due diligence on our clients to identify any potential roadblocks, meet with prospective partners, narrow the list of interested parties and help negotiate the best deal possible.
We frequently assist companies in need of additional capital to fuel growth, enable principals to take money off the table or get through rough times. Our global relationships enable us to identify the best possible outcome in any given market.
To effect the best transaction, Astor Group:
• Analyzes each client's capital needs and recommends an optimal capital structure
• Crafts compelling marketing materials
• Manages the distribution of information, constantly working with investors and clients to answer whatever questions may arise
• Reviews all financing documents and assists third parties in the closing of each transaction
We help clients address a wide range of challenges – from designing multi-year growth strategies and developing new products to solving cash flow problems and improving operating inefficiencies. To produce the most effective results, we work closely with management to craft solutions that draw on proven approaches across diverse industries and geographies.
After gaining a thorough understanding of what makes each client unique, we work together to clarify long-term goals, generate multiple strategies to achieve these goals, rapidly focus on high-potential options and validate and execute the best ones. Together, we are able to leverage that expertise to provide unparalleled results that transcend typical analyses.
