M&A Services
Sell-Side Advisory
-
We conduct rigorous financial modeling and EBITDA normalization to establish a defensible valuation range. We then craft the equity story, transforming raw data into a compelling narrative for the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM).
-
We curate a bespoke list of Strategic and Financial buyers, managing blind outreach to generate competitive tension while strictly protecting client confidentiality.

We manage the heavy lift of the transaction, including Virtual Data Room (VDR) organization, management coaching for presentations, and the solicitation of competitive Letters of Intent (LOI).

We lead the negotiation of deal structure and working capital targets, coordinating with legal counsel to navigate the Purchase Agreement (SPA) through to a successful close.
Buy-Side Advisory
-
We align with stakeholders to define the acquisition thesis, establishing clear search criteria regarding geography, size, and industry sub-sector to ensure strategic fit.
-
Beyond widely marketed auctions, we leverage our network and research teams to uncover "off-market" opportunities, directly approaching owner-operators to source exclusive deal flow.
-
We perform detailed Accretion/Dilution and LBO analyses to determine the right price. We then structure creative offers (earnout vs. cash vs. equity) that align incentives and secure exclusivity.
-
We quarterback the due diligence process across financial, legal, and operational streams, mitigating risk before capital is committed, and advising on Post-Merger Integration (PMI) to ensure realized synergies.
