A Merger or Acquisition is the combining of two companies where one is completely absorbed by another. Generally, businesses with a value greater than one million dollars are handled through our Merger and Acquisition Business Services Division.
M&A ADVISORY SERVICES
CBS-Global’s Merger & Acquisition Services are packaged to provide you with a no hassle, no surprises, successful merger or acquisition experience. Since 1979, six unique challenges have surfaced with enough regularity to place them on our Merger and Acquisition radar screen. The challenges and solutions are listed below.
CHALLENGE #1
UNDERSTANDING THE M&A CLIENT
Solution:
- An informed, experienced and professional intermediary.
- A full understanding of the client company, including the potential for growth or multiplication (franchising opportunity).
- An accurate response to acquisition criteria; i.e.; price, location, size, type, etc.
- A sense of urgency; aggressively searching for the best solution to the M&A client’s needs.
CHALLENGE #2
NO SURPRISES
Solution:
- We pride ourselves on doing it right from the very beginning.
- Our standard of providing an accurate and precise target business profile is the best insurance policy when it comes to satisfying the M&A client.
- For those times when the target business may be lacking with regard to a total information package, we alert our M&A clients to handle the transaction with caution.
CHALLENGE #3
PRESERVING CONFIDENTIALITY
Solution:
- No breeches of confidentiality, period; a standard of performance we take very seriously!
I wish to thank Bob Wolter and the team at Creative Business Services personally and on behalf of Petra Health, LLC for making the sale of Guardian HealthStaff a smooth and successful transaction. We appreciate his experience in the Staffing & HR industries and the way he handled this transition in an extremely supportive and professional manner. We would happily engage Bob’s services again and would highly recommend Creative Business Services for future mergers and acquisitions transactions.

Bob and Michael were there every step of the way to make this an exciting, successful acquisition for us.”
Besnik Fetoski and Mustafa Dogan - Buyer
