Looking to Buy
a Business?

Find one using our effective targeting and acquire it successfully using our deal origination process.

Most people end up chasing opportunities, rather than actually buying a business.

Why?

Acquisitions on paper seem like a great idea. But when you start on this path its a lot harder than people realize.

So many deals never happen because they fall short of buyer’s expectations. Most owners are not ready to sell, and if they do receive interest their main focus is purely price, rather than looking at how to transition and integrate a business.

What we offer buyers

Acquisition Strategy

To buy someone else’s business you need a formula that works. You have the funds, yes, but you also need the know-how and connections to make it a success. Its understanding the upside in the marketplace, future returns measured against key risks to validate a deal correctly.

Target
Identification

We help you determine the factors each target must meet (size, growth rate, market share, capabilities, balance sheet strength, IP etc). We then prioritise these factors by importance to enable more efficient candidate screening.

Valuation &
Due Diligence

Our valuation and due diligence process covers all aspects of the target’s financials, growth potential, operational risks, capital risks and key dependency issues. Good DD is all about a fair and thorough external opinion with zero emotion involved.

Deal Execution

We’ll help you determine how the acquisition should be structured (asset acquisition, share acquisition, or a merger). A formal negotiation team is formed to prepare agreements and obtain shareholder approvals to close the deal.

Integration Plan

We set the structure for the key tasks over the short, medium and long term, resulting in a 100-day task-based checklist. Integration is mission critical to deal success so this step cannot be skipped.
