On the Lighter
Side
Move over Rolling Rock, LaTrobe, PA lays claim to the invention

Is
this the new normal?
Mother Nature continues to cause interruptions. In the span of a
few weeks, Delaware
Valley businesses were impacted by multiple tornadoes, including one
measured as an EF3, as well as 100-year floods. In California, the Dixie Fire destroyed the
entire town of Greenville as well as Rich Bar, a historic gold
rush era ghost town. Meanwhile, storm activity in the Atlantic basin is becoming
more active.
Asterion can assist individual business owners and
insurance companies who may need help to quantify the proper measure of damages
in business interruption and lost income claims.
The
right valuation can make a deal look easy.
A strategic acquisition or the sale of an interest is all about the
value. Pepsi is selling the Tropicana line, while Footlocker recently
acquired two smaller rivals. Square is expanding its fintech footprint with the
acquisition of Afterpay,
and Reese Witherspoon sold a majority stake in her media company, Hello Sunshine, based on a
$900 million valuation.
Regardless of the type of transaction you are
contemplating, Asterion can help assess the strategic and valuation facts that
are important to your success.
