One of the most important steps in successful chemical acquisitions is coming to an accurate valuation of the target that leaves room for the buy-side firm to find the deal worthwhile and simultaneously puts the sell-side firm in a position where it wants to make a deal. Valuation is difficult in any industry, more so when it is for the purpose of chemical M&A activity, as there are pressures on those conducting the valuation to make a deal happen to the benefit of the senior partners and shareholders, as well as the company. Expert assistance from a team of chemicals M&A consultants can be invaluable in this situation, as such a team will have resources designated specifically for conducting the type of investigations necessary for an accurate valuation.
