Jeff WillemsPresident, CRSA Technologies

to climb.
Acquiring another IT company can take yours to another level, but it comes with its own set of questions: Is now the right time? How much value will it create for my company? Will I get a 25% or greater rate of return? Are these potential buyers the right fit for us?
With decades of buy-side advisory services experience, iTValuations can steer you to a sound buying decision based on objective valuations of each company, a rigorous vetting process for each potential seller, and clear-eyed insight into the return you’ll see on your investment.
How It Works
01(4 Weeks)
Buyer Readiness
Before anything else, we take time to understand your goals and share what you can expect during the transaction process.
Once we start working together, we’ll create a Calculation of Value Report to get an idea of your value and an understanding of accretive synergies to target in a prospective seller as well as a fundamental understanding of the value creation potential for what kind of acquisition you can take on.
Then we’ll work with your senior leadership to assess other readiness factors listed below. After reviewing all these assessments and reports, we’ll advise you on whether an acquisition will accomplish your goals and accelerate your growth.
- Ideal Seller Persona
- Access to Capital
- Operational Maturity
- Deal Structure Parameters
- Organic Growth Strategy

Seller Identification
If it makes sense to move forward, we’ll build, vet, and pursue a list of seller prospects that align with your ideal seller persona. When there’s a potential fit, we will move them forward to the next stage of the process:
- Review and sign the Confidentiality Agreements
- Schedule and attend Introductory Meetings
- Create a Calculation of Value Report for the Seller
- Engage in Facilitated Negotiations
- Technical and Business Review Meetings
- Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Modeling
- Develop Letter of Intent (LOI)
03(2-4 Months)
Due Diligence & Closing
With the Letter of Intent signed, lawyers and accountants roll up their sleeves, and so do we.
Sometimes a deal doesn’t make sense, which is why we don’t pride ourselves on closing all of them. Our due diligence gives us the book on the seller’s business to eliminate blind spots and give each side the greatest chance of long-term success.
- Financial, Legal, and Operational Reviews
- Purchase and Employee Definitive Agreements
- Post-Merger Integration Planning
- Facilitated Closing Proceedings
