For buyers

We recognize the need to unlock maximum value at each stage. Our specialists can work with you to effectively identify potential targets and support an efficient transaction process.

What is End-to-end M&A?

Stages of the M&A lifecycle

As your end-to-end M&A advisory, we offer a broad range of integrated services covering each of the stages below in your M&A journey.

Accelerate growth & assess opportunities.

Combining local and global expertise, our industry specialized teams explore potential growth strategies, assessing how emerging tech can accelerate inorganic and organic growth opportunities. Our target screening approach and experience helps identify attractive and plausible acquisition targets, encompassing options to diversify or increase market differentiation.

Prepare for the transaction. Identify, mitigate and close risks.

To facilitate our clients’ ability to make fully informed transaction decisions, we use our extensive deal and industry experience to highlight key issues and navigate blockers in valuations; deal structure; execution efforts and integration or separation planning.

Throughout the diligence process we impartially interrogate the deal, provide solutions to any risks, and identify and quantify potential upsides. An Executive briefing plan and board paper help ensure senior stakeholders understand the deal rationale and its implications, including closing risks.

Set up for success from transaction close.

Whether integrating or separating an entity, our team develops a plan to deliver on the anticipated business synergies. This can include running workshops to assess how sales teams, suppliers, employees, systems and processes will integrate; developing a customer retention plan, and ensuring all regulatory and compliance obligations are met.

To unlock the full value of the transaction, we can also create and design talent retention programs, and help manage change and communication initiatives to drive a smooth and successful transaction.

Evolve your business by assessing potential disruptors and opportunities.

Transform While You Transact. The complex nature of an M&A deal will often prompt our clients to seek a more in-depth and robust understanding of potential disruptors and transformational opportunities to evolve and advance their business.

This might include assessing avenues for value creation, exploring performance improvements or reviewing readiness for disruptive technologies or events that may impact the future stability and success of the business.
