Continued growth is key for ambitious businesses. Whether this is driven by acquisitions or alliances, advice on correct structure and pricing may facilitate and reduce the risk of such moves.

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.

We can also assist with post-transaction services such as integration of systems and cultures, human resources and business planning.

What are the issues facing you:

• Are you looking to expand your business with new products, markets or geographically
• Do you need rapid access to new technology or intellectual property
• Do you need to achieve critical mass quickly in a new market
