  • Board advisory

    We can provide you with an independent opinion as to whether the price to be paid or received in a transaction is fair from a financial point of view. In doing so, EY professionals can help you address the following important questions:

    • Will the transaction create or destroy shareholder value?
    • What is the value of the target assets or equity interests?
    • How does non-cash consideration such as equity, seller notes, earnouts, options and other complex financial instruments affect the transaction value?
    • How do risks, synergies and other growth opportunities impact the transaction economics?
    • Is the transaction accretive or dilutive?
    • How do the transaction structure, tax attributes and contingencies impact deal value?

    Through Ernst & Young Capital Advisors, LLC (EYCA), we work with you to achieve your strategic objectives by devising an investment strategy across:

    • Mergers and acquisitions — Our team provides independent, objective, sector-focused advice on transactions that achieve strategic growth objectives through acquisition or realize inherent value through various divestiture and liquidity strategies. We also help C-suite executives and boards evaluate strategic alternatives in the context of transactions. Learn more.
