Unlock the Full Value of Your Acquisition with Altaris Cloud
In hosting M&A, teams dig deep into financials, assets, and contracts, but software licensing often gets ignored. That gap is expensive. And it hits after the ink dries.
We see it all the time:
A company completes an acquisition, then Microsoft steps in with an audit.
Licensing gaps surface. Under-reporting is uncovered.
And the new owner, not the seller, is held responsible for every historical mistake.
Microsoft doesn’t care who caused the problem.
They only care who owns the business now.
The result?
Unexpected penalties.
Inflated pre-deal valuations.
EBITDA numbers that never should have been accepted.
And acquisition costs that suddenly look a lot higher than the sale price.
Don’t Let Licensing Errors Inflate What You Pay
A bad licensing position can artificially boost margins and EBITDA, making a company appear far more profitable than it truly is.
If you don’t examine the licensing posture before the deal, you may pay a premium for numbers that collapse under audit pressure.
