ACQUISITIONS

OUR ACQUISITION PROCESS

2024

STEP 1: CONFIDENTIALITY

We start by signing a confidentiality agreement to protect your information. Rest assured, your data and our discussions will remain confidential and be shared only with a select few from our internal acquisition team at Cadence.

STEP 2: ASSESSING THE VALUE

We will request a concise list of key financial information to determine a fair valuation for your company. Our team will go over the valuation of your company to ensure transparency and understanding of the estimated purchase price. If you agree, we will issue a Letter of Intent confirming this price, allowing you to decide whether to proceed with us.

STEP 3: CONDUCTING DUE DILIGENCE

The due diligence process aims to validate our initial valuation by examining various factors that may impact your company's overall value. In our experience, the original estimate typically holds, as long as the business has remained stable and there are no undisclosed material issues.

STEP 4: FINALIZING THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Once the purchase price is confirmed, we will document all terms of the proposed transaction in a Purchase Agreement. This agreement will be negotiated together to ensure all parties are satisfied.

STEP 5: CLOSING THE DEAL!

After signing the Purchase Agreement, the transaction is completed, and we will transfer the proceeds to you. With all diligence and financial information ready, this entire process can be completed in four months or less.
