An acquisition may enable you to achieve overnight growth in the scale of your existing operations or secure a foothold in a new industry sector. Operational and financial synergies can also often be realised.
To realise its full potential the acquisition must be properly planned and executed from beginning to end.
Our service
We are often involved from the very outset of the search for targets. Our service typically involves the following key stages:
- Defining your acquisition criteria and rationale then carrying out detailed research to produce a shortlist of potential acquisition targets
- Making the initial approach to targets identified
- Formulating the intial offer and negotiating price and structure of the transaction
- Where appropriate, development of the business plan and financial forecasts for submission to potential funders including subsequent negotiations with funders
- Project management of the transaction to completion
Our role as the corporate finance adviser is important in completing a company acquisition quickly and efficiently through:
- Eliminating the difficulties associated with identifying acquisition targets, particularly where you are trying to find opportunities to diversify away from your current activities
- Ensuring that the acquisition is structured and financed properly
- Reducing the extent to which you need to be involved in the day-to-day acquisition process, which can be lengthy and time consuming. Our involvement will enable you to concentrate on running your business.
