Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc.
Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc. is a member of NASD, the National Association of Securities Dealers. NASD is a self-regulatory organization of the securities industry responsible for the operation and regulation of the NASDQ stock market and over the counter markets. It also administrates exams for the investments professionals, such as the series of 7 exams.
Houlihan Smith & Company, Inc. is a specialized investment banking firm that provides advisory, financing and valuation services to public and private businesses. Houlihan is also a registered broker-dealer of SIPC Member. Houlihan is affiliated and works closely with Houlihan Valuation Advisors, a leading valuation firm with offices throughout the United States, providing Houlihan with a team of industry experts to efficiently handle complex client engagements.
Houlihan understands the time sensitivity of corporate finance and is able to respond quickly and tenaciously to opportunities. The Houlihan approach creates corporate finance transactions where both business owners and investors mutually benefit. They have the knowledge, experience and relationships to match buyers and sellers, as well as to match the appropriate financing and capitalization structure to each unique client situation. The Houlihan name is synonymous with valuation expertise and they provide cost-effective fairness and solvency opinions, as well as valuations for tax and financial reporting to some of the largest NYSE companies, as well as small, privately-held businesses.
The methodology applied by Houlihan reflects substantial expertise and experience in all areas of corporate finance, including deal structuring, mergers and acquisitions, due diligence and market pricing, valuation, specialized financings, and the design and implementation of alternative exit strategies. Exit strategies for business owners and investors often include the sale of the business through a full or limited auction process, a debt recapitalization based upon debt repayment capability, a private-placement of debt and/or equity, stock sales through IPO's, and/or the use of ESOP's, which fund the purchase of corporate equity with pre-tax income.
A fairness opinion affirming that a merger or sale transaction is financially fair to a company's shareholders is an important but frequently overlooked risk management technique. Such opinions are required in deals involving public companies. Yet there are often compelling reasons for privately held businesses to obtain them, too. Armed with a fairness opinion, a company's senior management and board of directors can make better-informed decisions about a change-of-control transaction and avoid possible turmoil down the road.
