Acquisitions and ownership transition
You want to buy, sell or hand over a company, and the conversation has to stay private until it doesn't.
Ownership changes are decided long before they are announced. The difficult part is rarely the valuation - it is finding a counterparty whose intentions match yours, and reaching them without the market finding out you are looking. That is a network problem before it is a finance problem.
What the work consists of
- We establish what you are actually solving for: price, continuity, speed, or who ends up running the company.
- We approach potential counterparties on a no-names basis until both sides want to proceed.
- We manage the sequence of disclosure so nothing leaves your control before you decide it should.
- We work alongside your existing advisers rather than replacing them.
The other three
- Strategic partnershipsYou need a partner in a market where you have no way to tell a serious company from a plausible one.
- Market entryYou are entering a market where the wrong first partner costs you two years.
- AdvisoryYou need someone outside the company to tell you what your own people cannot.
