A stage arises when a company wants to grow – and it is preferable to grow through an acquisition rather than organically. Under other circumstances a company would like to exit when it believes it has reached a stage that it can grow faster and better when partnered or integrated with another unit. In either case we help clients develop and execute a buy-side or sell-side strategy. Obtaining maximum value on a sale, or executing a successful acquisition, requires a disciplined process to assure success.

Our integrated approach allows us to work in an M&A transaction, implementing our strategic planning with our business development efforts, to significantly enhance exit values and business success for our client.

Key Activities:

• Analyzing the company and conducting market research to determine appropriate strategy;
• Identifying appropriate buy-side or sell-side targets and initiate contacts;
• Developing the appropriate pitch material to market the company;
• Assisting in the presentation of the company and developing the business case;
• Conducting valuations for the client to build a sell side case; and
• Negotiating terms, managing process and performing due diligence.
