Our M&A Advisory Services
We provide comprehensive, end-to-end support for both buy-side and sell-side mandates, ensuring dedicated attention to your specific objectives.
Sell-Side Advisory When you decide to sell your company, our primary objective is to maximize valuation and secure the best possible terms while managing a confidential and efficient process. Our services include:
Exit Readiness & Strategic Positioning: Preparing your business for a sale and crafting a compelling narrative.
Valuation Analysis: Conducting a thorough valuation to establish a clear expectation of value.
Marketing Material Preparation: Creating a detailed Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM).
Buyer Identification & Outreach: Running a structured process to identify and engage a curated list of potential strategic and financial buyers.

Acquisition Strategy Development: Defining the strategic rationale and criteria for potential acquisitions.
Target Identification & Screening: Proactively identifying and evaluating potential target companies.
Valuation & Synergy Analysis: Modelling the financial impact of the acquisition and assessing potential synergies.

Our Methodology: A Disciplined Approach to M&A
We execute transactions through a structured, phase-gated process designed to maximize leverage and minimize risk.
Phase 1: Strategy & Preparation: This foundational phase involves a deep understanding of your objectives, conducting detailed valuation analysis, and preparing all necessary documentation (CIM for sell-side, acquisition model for buy-side).
Phase 2: Market Engagement: We initiate confidential outreach to a pre-qualified list of targets or buyers, managing all communications and gauging initial interest while protecting our client's confidentiality.
Phase 3: Diligence & Negotiation: We orchestrate the due diligence process, creating a competitive environment among interested parties. We lead the critical negotiation of the letter of intent (LOI) and the definitive legal agreements (e.g., SPA).
Phase 4: Closing & Integration: We manage all remaining steps to ensure a smooth and timely closing. For buy-side clients, we also provide strategic counsel on post-merger integration planning.
