We bring real value to clients seeking acquisitions :

»Internal staff don’t have skills or time to focus on acquisitions;

»Internal focus on integration, not the transaction;

»Internal specialist expertise is expensive for one-off or occasional transactions;

»Keep possible acquisitions confidential before involving staff;

»We can work pro-actively, without waiting for opportunities to arise;

»Identify all organisations fitting a profile, to get the best fit, not the first fit.

Specialist acquisition experience speeds the process and improves the outcome:

»Knowing common valuation and negotiation tactics reduces dsitractions;

»Partners ‘play games’ less when dealing with specialists;

»We can suggest deal structures to accommodate conflicting needs;

»Practical, commercial approach to controlling accountants, lawyers and others;

»Setting priorities and managing risk, without ‘lawyering it to death’.

An external third party also provides us some specific advantages:

»‘Excess baggage’ from negotiations leaves with us;

»Principals can be more open, as the don’t have to work with us later;

»Confidential discussions without revealing the identity of the enquiring party;

»Avoid personal preferences and non-commercial issues clouding decisions.
