Choosing the Proper Entity to Acquire a Company By JoAnn Lombardi, VR Business Brokers/Mergers & Acquisitions, President There are four basic types of entities that may be used to acquire and operate the business of the acquired corporation: (1) C corporations, (2) S corporations, (3) partnerships, either general or limited, and (4) the limited liability company (LLC). The LLC is a hybrid entity authorized in 1988 by the IRS. It offers the legal insulation of a corporation and the preferred tax treatment of a limited partnership. Today, all 50 states and the District of Columbia permit LLC’s. Primary differences exist among the four types of business entities. A regular, or C, corporation is a separate taxpaying entity. Therefore, its earnings are taxed to the corporation when earned and again to its shareholders upon distribution. Partnerships, S corporations, and LLC’s, in contrast, are generally not separate taxpaying entities. |

4 Steps to a Successful Integration Process There are several specific places where companies routinely stub their toes when making acquisitions. Get them right instead — and your prospects will soar. 1. People Acquisitions rise and fall on the quality and dedication of the people called upon to carry them out. For this reason, successful acquirers begin to address their people issues almost immediately upon identifying a target.
Start with your executive leadership team. Determine the composition of the new management team as far ahead of time as possible. Once those decisions are made and the leaders secured, then junior managers can be appointed. This helps communicate internally that the integration process is beginning to unfold smoothly and sensibly. |

10 Charts Illustrating M&A activity in 2Q 2018 M&A activity got off to a sluggish start in 2018 compared to the previous year, but 2Q showed a marked improvement over 1Q. The uptick means that though this year is unlikely to outpace the records set in 2015, it's ultimately on pace for a strong showing across North America and Europe. While the global M&A boom shows no sign of stopping, multiple factors are likely to influence the dealmaking environment. Our 2Q 2018 M&A Reportanalyzes the data behind the key trends in the M&A space, breaks down deals by size and sector, and spotlights both the financial services space and M&A activity in Europe specifically. The full report is available to download for free, but for a quick look at the highlights, check out the charts below. Transaction value on pace to match recent figures The rise in M&A investment in 2Q versus 1Q was due largely to several completed mega-deals. Five transactions with values greater than $10 billion closed last quarter, among them Vodafone's $21.8 billion purchase of UPC Czech and Bayer's $63 billion acquisition of Monsanto. |

SBA Business Acquisition Financing An SBA loan is often an excellent option for financing business acquisition transactions. For the last several years I have worked almost exclusively on business acquisition loans and I thought it might be helpful to share some tips and basic information. Of course I can’t possibly cover everything in one short article but know that I’m only a phone call away if you have questions or if I can be of assistance on your next transaction. To start, it is important to understand that the SBA provides overall standards and guidelines but there are differences in SBA lenders, their years of experience, and their appetite for certain types of deals. You should always work directly with an experienced SBA lender who is active in financing business acquisitions and knows all of the SBA requirements. Use the lender as a resource – we are happy to be of assistance because it benefits everyone in the process. As for the basics, SBA financing is available for most industries (there are a few exceptions) in amounts up to $5,000,000. One of the primary benefits of an SBA loan is that they require only a small down payment (typically 10%-20%) and have long repayment terms (with no balloon payments or call dates). Additionally, some lenders provide loans to finance going concerns with or without a real estate component. |
