Buy-side support
Why
An acquisition can accelerate a company's growth. It can result in new markets, products or capacity, strengthening its competitive position or realising economies of scale. For some parties it is part of a long-term buy-and-build strategy, for others a one-off opportunity.
A successful acquisition requires more than finding the right company. It is about identifying the strategic fit but also the risks and securing the right price and terms. Without a structured approach the process can be time-consuming, unnecessarily costly and the result may be sub-optimal. We provide structure, efficiency and the basis to ensure that the right decisions will be made at the right time.
How
We support the entire acquisition process, from strategy to closing. We create overview, monitor efficiency and facilitate decisions making:
Preparation - defining acquisition strategy and search profile
Identification & approach - selecting and proactively approaching appropriate targets, both public and off-market
Analysis & valuation - performing financial and strategic analyses, including valuation
Structure & negotiation - drafting offer letters, determining deal structure and negotiate
Due diligence & completion - coordinating the DD process and guiding it through to signature
The result: an aquisition process in which opportunities are maximised and risks are mitigated.
