Mergers and Acquisitions
Ownership change is a complex business activity that places special demands on most companies. Valuation, optimization of financial information, and transaction structuring are some of the technical aspects of a sale, merger, acquisition, share buyback or leveraged buyout where the specialized knowledge and experience of an investment banker can be crucial to success. Getting the right parties together and negotiating are part of the art of investment banking. The Selig Capital Group’s approach balances technical skill and knowledge with investment banking art.
We provide advice to sellers throughout the merger and acquisition process from concept to closing or assist with particular client needs at any phase. We offer planning and strategy formulation, find and qualify buyers, structure transactions, perform due diligence and going concern valuations, and coordinate efforts of legal, tax and other professional advisors.
With respect to buyers, we advise management or investment groups and represent principals to identify and complete transactions, performing the same services we provide when we represent sellers. Our banking and financial contacts are an important ingredient in obtaining financing and ensuring the successful closing of proposed transactions.

Business Valuation
Most successful business combinations are built upon realistic valuation of the business. As buyers and sellers become more sophisticated, the quality of a business valuation has become even more important as the cornerstone of a transaction.
Preparing to buy or sell a business is not the only time an appraisal of a business may be required. For example, our valuations have assisted in the resolution of partnership and personal disputes. Strategic financial planning and estate planning are other instances where our professional valuation services have been put to good use.
Not all business valuations are created equal. The method and detail of the valuation must match the requirements of the situation. In this age of valuation mills and overly optimistic valuations, The Selig Capital Group remains consistent in its approach to all investment banking activities: solid research and technical analysis combined with informed, seasoned judgment.

Capital Formation
The past decade has demonstrated the volatility of the credit and capital markets and the importance of preparation and precise timing in achieving success for a corporate finance undertaking. Whether it is a bank line of credit or term loan, accounts receivable financing, a private placement of debt or equity or a project financing, The Selig Capital Group can provide the kind of timely expertise that pays off with positive results.
We can assist in assessing client needs, evaluating financing alternatives, structuring the financial package and presenting our clients effectively to financial groups and institutions. The Selig Capital Group can also introduce clients to financial entities appropriate to their company and proposed transaction, including assisting in identifying the proper underwriters for public market financings. We also assist in negotiating terms for both financing and underwriting relationships.

Financial and Strategic Advisory
While our focus remains on the corporate finance side of the business – mergers and acquisitions and capital formation – The Selig Capital Group is based on a broader definition of finance. The fact is that no business discipline stands alone; the financial decisions made today can impact marketing, operational, and risk–management policies tomorrow. As a result, The Selig Capital Group takes on the role of structuring investment banking transactions from a comprehensive business perspective. In this connection, we provide a variety of financial and strategic advisory services including clarifying shareholder and organizational objectives, planning for liquidity or future sale, and advising on enhancing organization value, including strategic planning.
The Selig Capital Group provides professional services upon various terms of arrangement. Fees are agreed to in advance and are usually based upon a percentage of the value of the transaction. For most transactions we require an exclusive relationship and retainer fee, which may be applied against the contingency fee upon completion.
