Mergers and Acquisitions

Common ways to expand your business include making a strategic acquisition or merging with another business.

An acquisition is when you buy another business and end up controlling it.

A merger is when you integrate your business with another and share control of the combined businesses with the other owner(s).

Our hands-on practical approach provides ways to achieve successful transactions. In advising on the process from start to finish, we begin by establishing your acquisition criteria and, if appropriate, advise on sourcing other professional advice. Our work includes:

• Strategic review and competitor analysis of your sector.
• Researching and identifying key targets locally and internationally.
• Valuation.
• Transaction structuring, tactics and negotiation.
• Advice on financing, be it debt, equity or other more complex instruments.
• Supervising due diligence, legal and other issues to work towards a successful completion.
