Michelet Financial advises buyers on valuation, due diligence, deal structure and acquisition strategy — so you close with confidence and no surprises.
Most buyers overestimate revenue, underestimate liabilities, and close without a post-acquisition plan. Michelet Financial changes that equation.
We value the target business independently — earnings multiples, asset base, customer concentration, growth potential — so you know exactly what it's worth before you negotiate.
We dig into the financials, contracts, tax history, and operations. Hidden liabilities, customer dependency, and normalized earnings all come out before closing — not after.
We advise on deal structure — asset vs. stock purchase, earn-outs, seller financing, SBA loans — to minimize your tax exposure and protect your downside.
We help you negotiate from a position of knowledge. Whether it's purchase price, representations and warranties, or transition periods, we make sure your interests are protected.
Closing is day one, not the finish line. We build your post-acquisition operating plan, cash flow projections, and integration roadmap so the business grows under your ownership.
The right deal structure can save hundreds of thousands in taxes. Our tax strategy expertise means acquisitions are structured for maximum after-tax value — from day one.
From identifying the right target to closing the deal and running the business, here is how Michelet Financial guides buyers through the process.
Industry, deal size, geography, management preference, and growth thesis. A disciplined search starts with clear criteria.
We evaluate businesses through brokers, off-market networks, and direct outreach — filtering for realistic multiples and strong fundamentals.
Independent valuation using EBITDA multiples, SDE analysis, and asset-based methods. We tell you what the business is actually worth.
Financial, legal, operational, and tax due diligence. Every risk identified, quantified, and reflected in the final offer price or terms.
Asset purchase vs. stock purchase, earn-outs, seller carry-back, and financing — structured for your tax situation and risk tolerance.
Post-close transition plan, cash flow model, and 90-day operating priorities. We stay engaged after closing so the acquisition performs.
