Advisory Services - Partnering & Alliances

CFA serves as an agent or intermediary to facilitate the formation of joint ventures, minority acquisitions, cross-equity transactions and other forms of strategic alliances or corporate partnering. CFA believes that it is differentiated from other transactional advisors and investment banks in the area of - Expertise, Commitment, Technical Ability, Networks and International Reach

To successfully participate in corporate alliances, a company need not develop expertise internally. CFA can bridge the divide between you and potential partners. We offer a comprehensive range of services to clients that may include some or all of the following:

• Review financial condition, operations, competition & prospects
• Evaluate internal resources and capabilities to achieve goals
• Prepare Confidential Alliance Memorandum to solict interest
• Identify potential corporate partners (domestic & international)
• Solicit interested parties
• Coordinate due diligence
• Advise on appropriate structure of alliance transaction
• Assist raising co-investment capital
• Assist negotiating financial and governance aspects of alliance

CFA is focused on serving the needs of late-development stage, growth stage and mature companies, in virtually any industry, that:

• Possess proprietary technologies, demonstrate unique talents, or are leaders in their sectors
• Ownerships are opposed to selling control
• Lack "break-out" capabilities or competencies

Alliances will continue to grow in size and significance over the coming years. See The Future of Alliances and Partnering for our insights into this area.
