Mergers and acquisitions

Our M&A programmes are uniquely developed for each client, building our scope of works from your specific requirements.

Often encompassing off-market deal origination, financial pre-qualification and confidentiality management, we also include fundraising, financial modelling and business planning within our range of services in this arena.

M&A is a proven and rewarding route to accelerated growth and our team are proud to include both trade acquirers and PE houses as part of our client-base. This is alongside entrepreneurs who have followed our strategic roadmap to growth and since exited the sector.

Building in success

Far from simply introducers or deal originators, we undertake the full spectrum of M&A advisory. As a corporate finance boutique, we are able to provide a single key point of contact plus the breadth of combined knowledge from many decades of experience in corporate advisory, professional services and the technology industry itself.

Our aim is to deliver the highest quality of service to a modest number of clients, therefore our M&A programmes are tailored to deliver success in the most efficient route possible. With services including integrated business planning provisions, to Financial Summary Packs (FSPs) which allow acquirers to quickly and succinctly make decisions based on their unique acquisition criteria, our output is limited only by your ambition.

The first piece of work, the Strategic Review, was exactly what was required and enabled the board to get an accurate analysis of where we were and, more importantly, what we needed to do to get the best outcome. It was extremely detailed and clearly articulated the processes and degree of expertise needed for us to be successful. It formed the ideal foundation for us to progress
