Helping Good Deals Get Done

Environmental problems can delay, devalue, or kill a deal. And since the value of your investment is not realized until a business is sold, unresolved issues can erode asset value or stall a timely exit.

GaiaTech specializes in assessing the probability, timing, and financial impact of environmental deficiencies. We work for investors, portfolio companies and other transaction-oriented clients who need to secure the value of an investment. We understand the needs of deal participants, from due diligence to exit, and we know that different deal participants bring a different appetite for risk.

At GaiaTech, we focus on providing pragmatic solutions to financial risks. We deliver business-oriented environmental site assessment reports that include a targeted list of deficiencies, prioritized by cost and the likelihood of agency enforcement. We include a review of budgeted reserves for environmentally regulated activities, along with historical spending on environmental issues, and we highlight issues which could require capital or operating expenditures to achieve compliance or where regulations may force changes in manufacturing processes and additional CapEx.

We uphold high quality and technical standards in our work, reflecting our commitment to our client's goals. And all of GaiaTech's assessments are performed in strict accordance with ASTM and other industry standards.

Whether you're acquiring a business, securing debt, or seeking process improvements at one or more facilities, managing environmental risk can make a vital difference. Time after time, on deals with transaction values in excess of $250 billion, GaiaTech's professionals have successfully framed environmental risks for investors and lenders, controlling their impact on company value.
