The Best Offense is a Good Defense: Due Diligence Defense
The landscape for private companies is so radically different than that of the public arena. Companies are often caught “blind” facing issues that they understand little about and possibly have never heard of such as the poison pill. This white paper takes a look at what management teams can do to prepare, get the company ready and well positioned to deal with hostility in the marketplace as well as other Cinderella techniques for fighting off unwanted suitors, attention, scrutiny, liability, tax. This includes projecting the RISK FACTORS section – what are you going to have to say now versus what you want to say; how to make transition from A to B before you file. Paul Harvey summarized it best in his daily radio segments, “And now you know the rest of the story.” The echo of his voice calls to our mind the incredible facts, the often-missing pieces, or the forgotten heroine that made our everyday experiences more meaningful and special. For a while, this portion of our psyche was placed on the shelf of nostalgic worth and general goodwill. And like the rest of us, over time Paul Harvey’s plea to remember faded away as well. As you have chosen to dig deeper into the opportunities associated with “going public,” the details and requirements for achieving success are both daunting and time consuming. Only initially into the process, you may be asking your business partner – “Why are we doing this?” This paper hopes to detail, albeit in generic terms, the overarching rationale necessary to look beyond the perceived new earnings and inventory lists and into the essence of any worthwhile endeavor – the story. We believe that along the way, you may grow somewhat nostalgic and perhaps even misty as you realize the worth and value associated with the qualitative richness in determining your future success. We trust that unlike Paul Harvey’s statement, your remembering the story will grow and prosper your next business endeavor. No matter your background, executive manager, financial auditor, venture capitalist, the glitz and attention that are often gleaned in the forecast numbers and balance sheet hysteria are often one part of the equation. While these reviews are necessary, how can one transition into the need and appreciation for the qualitative metrics that lie just beyond the numbers picture. This strategy may be one of the simplest, but it is also one of the most effective ways to evaluate a potential investment. Are you ready to go public? The seeming availability of capital through the public markets for everything from financing expansion, purchasing new entities or even personal estate planning can often be very enticing for business owners. But while newspaper stories regularly highlight successful initial public offerings, “going public” is not for the faint of heart. If you are seriously considering taking your company public, you must first examine your organization closely to determine if it has the attributes necessary for success. Beyond the numbers, can you and your associates craft a story of intrigue and opportunity, while in essence only presenting your projected earnings for the next quarter. The importance of ‘story-telling’ has never been in such demand as with the passing and legislation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Through its inception, it has created a whirlwind of prominence on the qualitative value necessary with corporate responsibility in the public arena. Such a positive change has naturally impacted the way in which private companies are managing their corporate affairs. The natural result has been a need and a desire to look deeper into the entity by understanding a company’s history, vision, culture and focus. [continued...] Want to know more?
