Strategic Planning
Mensura offers a systematic methodology for uncovering and evaluating the variables that impact a business’ operations within its current environment and potentially impacting its future success. Our goal is to work with you to define a strategy or direction for the organization, and make decisions about allocating resources needed to pursue the strategy. The strategic planning process begins with asking questions and listening.
We identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the business, and how they may be utilized of addressed. The end-result is a plan that provides a clear understanding of (i) the current situation and how it came about; (ii) the goals of the owners and managers (reaching an ideal state); and (iii) the path to reach the defined goals.
Valuations
We employ detailed asset and enterprise valuation models, practical experience, and the knowledge of the business owner to provide comprehensive, timely, and cost-effective valuations, uncovering hidden value that eludes traditional modeling.
There is a difference between internal value and fair market value. The internal value of a private business is its worth to the owner, wherein considerations include asset market values, current cash flow, future cash flow, personal fulfillment, pride, family, and a host of other considerations. The fair market value is not only what strategic and financial buyers are willing to pay, but also the unique value that each potential buyer brings to the transaction.
Fairness Opinions
Mensura will provide a fairness opinion, which is an independent objective analysis from a financial point of view, as to the fairness of the financial terms of a transaction.
