Whether we are dealing with a quoted company, private shareholders, a management team or private equity houses, we understand that considering mergers and acquisitions is a major strategic step.
If you are on the sell side, you want to be sure your business is as appealing to potential acquirers as possible. Once you feel your business is ready, the search begins for the best acquisition targets and then you hope for a smooth and successful deal.
As a buyer, acquisition can be an attractive way to grow your business. Whatever your reasons for exploring the mergers and acquisitions route - be it to achieve scale and diversity, to enter into a new market, or simply as a defensive tactic – you want to know that you have thoroughly analysed all possible options, as well as the risks that could crop up.
Our specialist mergers and acquisitions team supports shareholders, management teams and other interested parties with advice based on our unique depth and breadth of experience.
To ensure we’re able to provide the best advice we’ve invested nationally and internationally in building a specialist team from a range of backgrounds. These include industry, investment banking, management consultancy, specialist boutiques and big four accountancy firms.
Our advice covers:
- private shareholders on preparing for and maximising value from the sale of their businesses;
- management teams on negotiating terms and raising private equity and/or debt finance to support a management buy-out or buy-in; and
- corporate and private shareholders on raising private equity and/or debt finance for growth, cash out or recapitalisation.
We also provide merger and acquisition support services to both private equity and corporate acquirers:
- Defining your acquisition strategy
- Sourcing, valuing and due diligence of acquisition targets
- Structuring your transaction to minimise risk
- Sourcing debt and equity funding
- Managing the legal elements of the process
