Frequently Asked Questions
Do you represent buyers, sellers, or both?
We have deep expertise representing both buyers and sellers in M&A transactions. Our objective financial guidance is tailored to help you achieve the best possible outcome based on your specific role and goals in the deal.
How is The Delta CFO Advantage different from an investment banker or business broker?
While bankers and brokers are primarily focused on facilitating the transaction itself, we act as your strategic CFO advisor throughout. We focus on valuation accuracy, optimal deal structuring for your long-term benefit (including tax implications), rigorous due diligence, and strategic negotiation support, ensuring the deal aligns with your overall financial goals.
At what stage should I engage The Delta CFO Advantage for M&A?
Ideally, engage us early in the process. For sellers, this means planning well before going to market to maximize value. For buyers, engaging us early helps with target identification, valuation, and initial strategy. However, we can add significant value at any stage.
What is your fee structure for M&A advisory?
Our fee structure is typically project-based or retainer-based, reflecting the strategic advisory nature of our work. It is not solely based on a transaction success fee like many brokers. We discuss specific fees during our initial confidential consultations based on the scope and complexity of your needs.
