A team of knowledgeable professionals led by principals with significant, real-world experience as CEOs, Presidents and advisors to international businesses operating in Asia. A tested, proven process that enables Chinese clients to successfully identify, acquire and operate North American businesses. This process includes the following services: Strategy Review and Acquisition Plan Development Kinsella Group will conduct a thorough review of a client’s current corporate strategy, and contribute ideas as to how the strategy can be enhanced through the selective acquisition of U.S.-based companies or assets. From these discussions and analysis, Kinsella Group will help develop a client-driven acquisition focus and plan. This Acquisition Plan will be designed to increase enterprise value, financial condition and global profitability by: Identifying significant opportunities to leverage the client’s production and marketing strengths, by focusing on new markets for the client’s products and services in the U.S. and beyond, and by exploiting the acquisition target’s established brands, reputation, distribution channels, customer loyalties, and management and technological strengths. Creating opportunities for the client to export management, marketing and technological advances back to China, to enhance the client’s production and marketing efforts in the domestic Chinese and other Asian markets. Execution of the Acquisition Plan Kinsella Group will conduct a thorough search to identify and make contact with North American businesses that fit the established acquisition target criteria, including companies that are not actively soliciting buyers. This will include: Evaluating target companies, including researching products sold, sales processes, competitive forces and business capabilities, with the assistance of Kinsella Group’s network, industry contacts and captive resources. Determining a fair market price for the target companies. Advising in negotiation of terms and transaction structure, in order to minimize client risk and ensure the preservation of seller expertise and customer relationships. Coordinating due diligence, including recommending and assisting corporate counsel in closing the transaction in compliance with the laws of the United States or Canada, as appropriate. Providing assistance in evaluating U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) sensitivities. The flowchart, below, illustrates the typical business-acquisition process.

Monitoring and advice on execution of the business plan strategy. Fees for Services Each client is unique. As a result, strategies, timelines and fees are dependent upon each client’s objectives.
