M&A Advisory

In the realm of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), we manage the entire transaction process—from acquisition and sale proposals to closing. Our goal is to provide qualified advice to both buyers and sellers, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. Specifically, we assist with proposing and selecting target companies, formulating schemes, scheduling, price setting, and negotiating terms.

M&A Advisory

Step 01

Seller Side Support

 we start with a strategic consultation to understand your goals and craft a tailored M&A strategy. We formalize our partnership with a clear advisory agreement, ensuring alignment. Next, we conduct a thorough analysis of your business and market, identifying the best opportunities.

Consultation

The first step involves a detailed consultation with the seller to understand their specific goals, objectives, and market positioning. This initial discussion lays the groundwork for a customized M&A strategy, ensuring that the seller’s goals are aligned with potential opportunities in the market. The aim is to craft a strategic roadmap for achieving the best possible outcomes in the transaction process.

Step 02

Mediator Support

In this critical phase, our role as a mediator ensures that both parties are aligned for a smooth transaction. From organizing management meetings and site visits to negotiating terms and conducting due diligence, we bridge the gap between buyer and seller, facilitating transparent and fair discussions that lead to a successful agreement.

Management Meetings, Site Visits

This step involves organizing meetings between the management teams of both the buyer and seller. Site visits may also be arranged to allow the buyer to better understand the seller’s operations. These interactions foster trust and transparency between both parties, ensuring that they have a clear understanding of the business before moving forward in negotiations.

Step 03

Buyer Side Support

We begin with a Teaser & Presentation to introduce potential opportunities while ensuring confidentiality. Upon your decision to proceed, we secure information with a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Finally, we provide Detailed Information, offering in-depth insights into the company to help you make informed acquisition decisions.

Teaser & Presentation

This step serves as the initial introduction of a potential acquisition opportunity to the buyer. The teaser provides a concise, high-level overview of the business while ensuring confidentiality. It highlights key aspects such as the company’s market position, financial performance, and growth potential. The purpose is to give the buyer just enough insight to pique their interest and help them decide whether to explore the opportunity further.
