ABOUT
US
M&A of Ohio
is a mergers and acquisitions company assisting
buyers and sellers in finding the opportunities they are
seeking. Selling or buying businesses requires careful
organization of information, serious review and commitment to
get the deal completed. We are professionals with the
expertise and experience to organize, review, and present
businesses for optimum results.
In addition, we perform business valuations in order to
determine the Fair Market Value of a business. Whether you are
selling or buying, knowing the correct value is
important. Proven techniques and professional ethics
are integral in this process. Business Valuations are not only
useful for buying or selling businesses, but can also be
helpful in buy-sell situations, estate values, financing, and
shareholder disputes.
During the acquisition process, financing may be needed. Our
sources are available to assist you in getting your deal
completed. Whether long term financing, short term needs, or
special needs as SBA, we are positioned to help you arrange
financing to fit your situation.
Your business may not be ready for sale, or you may need
suggestions on future direction. Our consulting services and
business assessment will
assist you in organizational needs, profitability/cash flow
concerns and strategic planning for marketing and overall
business direction. We will help you position your company for
the future goals that you may have for your business.
