Services Offered

 
Corporate Development
 
We specialize in working with the corporate executive staff in providing corporate development solutions.  First Chicago Advisors was founded on the principle of providing independent, senior level expertise, yielding comprehensive execution for its sophisticated client base.  

Specifically, we provide and assist in merger and acquisition services for corporate development departments that may be overtaxed or have a transaction that may not receive the required senior level attention from other larger Wall Street firms.  We have been highly successful in acting as an outsourced corporate development arm for a corporation's executive staff wishing to execute growth through acquisitions while keeping a critical eye towards bulding shareholder value.  In fact, we structure our fees so that we do not create conflicts of interest in closing on a transaction.

 

Understanding the Process


Having managed many acquisitions and consulting assignments, we understand the process. We understand the nuances of various valuation techniques. We understand how due diligence should be done and how to manage it. We know the role that legal and accounting consultants should play. We understand the terms of purchase agreements and employment contracts. And we understand many different strategies for integrating an acquisition into a parent company and the personnel questions involved.
