Our M&A Process

Strategic Planning

Define the company’s long-term vision and determine how mergers or acquisitions align with overall business goals.This step sets the foundation for identifying the right type of transaction and desired outcomes.

Assess Financial Readiness

Evaluate current financial health, cash flow, and capital structure to determine the ability to support a deal. This may involve internal audits, valuation analysis, and preparing financial documentation for transparency.

Research Target Industry

Analyze market dynamics, competition, regulatory environment, and emerging trends within the target sector.This research helps to identify risks and growth opportunities that could impact the deal’s success.

Target List Building

Develop a focused list of high-potential acquisition targets or prospective buyers based on strategic fit.The list is often prioritized based on financial performance, market position, and synergy potential.

Target Outreach

Initiate confidential contact with selected targets to assess interest and explore potential deal scenarios.Initial communication is typically discreet and may involve intermediaries to protect confidentiality.

Engage Targets

Begin meaningful conversations to evaluate strategic alignment, cultural compatibility, and mutual goals.This stage helps determine whether to proceed to more formal negotiations.

Letter of Intent (LOI)

Draft a non-binding agreement that outlines the basic terms, structure, and timeline of the potential deal.The LOI signals serious interest and sets the stage for due diligence.

Due Diligence

Conduct a comprehensive investigation into the target's financials, operations, legal matters, and risks.This step is critical to validating deal assumptions and avoiding post-transaction surprises.

Closing

Execute final agreements, obtain necessary approvals, and complete the legal and financial components of the deal.This includes signing of contracts, transfer of funds, and formal deal announcements.

Target Integration
