PB&W assists companies in determining and evaluating methods to maximize shareholder value, including the evaluation of financial performance, operations and corporate structure. Often, this analysis is useful when a management team is seeking to maximize value in a sale transaction, in an initial public offering or to increase their company’s value and liquidity in the public or private market.

PB&W examines a client's cost and overhead structure and analyzes their current market and technology positions. These advisory services often incorporate the following:

• Historical financial review and forecast of future performance;
  
• Analysis of a company’s markets, competitive position, technology, operations and management;
  
• The identification of value drivers and the completion of a valuation and sensitivity analysis;
  
• Identification and evaluation of strategic alliances (joint ventures, teaming  arrangements, minority investments and long-term supplier agreements);
  
• Strategic studies (an examination of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats);
  
• Evaluation of capital structure and financing alternatives.
