Paine Pacific's M&A advisory is focused on an end-to-end partnership with our clients beginning with defining their objective all the way through to the final closing of a transaction. Our model is based on building a path to achieve the right transaction, with the right buyer and with the greatest value while preparing and enhancing our clients profile and value to achieve the objective. This pre-transaction preparation is basic to the Paine Pacific approach and serves as the foundation for the subsequent implementation of a successful transaction. Paine Pacific’s approach to presenting its clients is through the use of a unique template we call The Story. This template was designed to communicate the key values and assets of the client and to put them in context to the buyer who wants to know where the business has been yet more importantly where it will and can go tomorrow. We highlight the key elements that we define as compelling to our target buyer including what they fear and what they do not know, so that we have a complete The Story that is relevant to their needs and interests. We use a variety of mediums to do this including online CIM's, videos, photographs and specific tools to capture the right audience. With good pre-transaction preparation and building The Story, we can focus on identifying The Right Target that matches the client's operational and strategic structure, culture and vision. Whether it is a fiscal buyer or a strategic, we focus on the target’s capacity to do a deal, the strategic fit, the deal structure and the valuation. All of these elements are critical to finding The Right Deal and the outcome for our clients, their employees and the resulting entity.
