Real Estate & Construction Business Advisory, Mergers & Acquisitions FAQ
What issues should a real estate or construction company evaluate before a major transaction or business decision?
Project risk, financing needs, ownership structure, market timing, financial considerations, operations, and compliance can shape these decisions. Business valuation, compliance support, and project management may be used to evaluate the risks and planning needs involved.
What services may be needed across a real estate or construction transaction?
Transaction support may include acquisition target selection, valuation modeling, divestiture planning, due diligence, quality of earnings analysis, financial due diligence assessments, corporate finance, and restructuring. The relevant combination depends on whether the organization is pursuing growth, a sale, a transition, or restructuring.
How can a quality of earnings (QoE) assessment contribute to transaction planning?
Quality of earnings work may examine quality of revenue, payroll reconciliation, non-recurring expenses, cash-to-accrual expense adjustments, and net working capital normalizations. That analysis supports a clearer understanding of historically reported operating results and financial position before a transaction.
When can business valuation support a real estate or construction company?
Business valuation and valuation modeling may support transactions and other major business decisions in the industry. Relevant uses include growth, ownership transition, divestiture, deal structure, and restructuring decisions.
What should be addressed when a transaction is tied to growth, ownership transition, or restructuring?
Transaction planning may need to combine valuation considerations, deal structure, corporate finance, due diligence, project management, and other planning needs. These elements connect transaction strategy with the financial realities of growth, ownership transition, or restructuring.
