E-BBK Financial Restructuring and Revitalization

Transactional Services

Every company needs a financial strategy to guide its business. The most powerful strategies can drive growth objectives, correct balance sheet concerns and even help resolve operational weaknesses. Financial planning can occur at any phase of the business cycle to improve profitability, but companies should strive to strengthen finances before signs of significant weakness occur.

BBK has successfully represented companies, lenders, creditors, bondholders and investors (domestic and foreign) in need of corporate financial support. We've guided clients through restructurings, mergers and acquisitions, sales and divestitures, leveraged buyouts, bankruptcies and uncertain financial outcomes. By implementing financial strategies to protect assets, turnaround under-performing businesses and facilitate corporate transactions, we help our clients achieve the best financial goals for any given situation.

Recognizing that no two companies are alike, nor have the same set of challenges, BBK has its solutions offerings customized based on a client's unique needs. They include financial advisory services tailored to the needs of the client and the situation.

Business Acquisition Strategies

Our proven track record in both financial and operational improvement services make BBK uniquely suited to help strategic buyers planning to acquire assets in North America. Studies show that over 60% of M&A transactions fail to create their expected value underscoring the critical need to identify and quantify synergies. Of those that are successful in creating value, 70-75% will be realized in the first year.

Growing externally can create tremendous value when companies are focused on the best opportunities. However, value can be destroyed when growth is conducted in a reactive manner without:

Alignment of strategic priorities with organic growth
Development of a M&A strategy and market entry options
Development of market-oriented growth strategies
Assessment of potential enablers or barriers
Assessment of business plan and financial projections

Determining which acquisitions will create shareholder value is reliant upon the rigor and quality of due diligence performed on the transaction. BBK's approach to diligence goes beyond traditional accounting and financial analysis to assess the key assumptions underlying the deal.

Our experienced team helps clients:

Gain deep understanding of the total potential of the target business
Uncover real opportunities for capturing value post deal through operational enhancements
BBK focuses not only on financial due diligence, but total performance due diligence
