More Solutions. Less Frustration.
Our business advisory services are focused on helping our clients reduce risk, maintain compliance and maximize profitability. Our confidential advice focuses on execution details with senior leadership at each stage to maximize the probability of the best outcome for each client.
How Creative Planning Is Different
We’re different from other providers of business advisory services in three key ways:
Teamwork
If we can solve a client’s challenge in-house, we will — but if a trusted ally can do it better or faster, we’re happy to shift to a coordinating role.
Experience
Many of our professionals have also worked in our clients’ industries, often in C-suite positions, giving us deeper expertise in a wide range of relevant strategies and solutions.
Clarity
When our project is complete, we deliver a document that not only summarizes the results for our client’s boss but also includes a more granular summary that can be used by people downstream in the organization.
Adding Value for M&A Clients
Our process is built to deliver an exceptional client experience. We accomplish this by:
- Taking the time to understand your vision, culture, values and business plan
- Navigating the deal process through a comprehensive understanding of the buyers and sellers within your industry
- Determining a realistic transaction value to identify and select the ideal partner
- Guiding you through critical steps in the M&A process
- Advising on what is internally achievable to leverage negotiating power
- Proactively advocating on your behalf to help you achieve optimal deal terms
