Our wealth of experience supports business acquisition through a
range of services, including expert research, insight and negotiation. We work with a range of large corporate acquirers and high net
worth entrepreneurs, adding value via strategic acquisition services
that help buyers acquire a great business at a fair price.
CORPORATE ACQUIRERS
Having been a Corporate Acquirer ourselves, we have many years of experience in this area.
We understand which boxes must be ticked for a Board to ultimately approve an acquisition
We ensure a target business fits the strategic rationale of a corporate’s expansion strategy
We find the perfect strategic bolt-on acquisition or merger opportunity
ENTREPRENEUR ACQUIRERS
We work with self-made individuals looking to make their next business move. These
entrepreneurs may have successfully exited one investment, and are now ready for a bigger
and better acquisition – often via a business that fulfils a greater purpose or passion.
Other high-net- worth entrepreneurs may have just arrived from Asia, Africa, Europe or the
Americas, and are seeking an attractive mid-market acquisition with plenty of expansion opportunity, to utilise their considerable skills.
The Acquisition process
A merger or acquisition could take several forms, depending on resources and strategic intent. These may include one or more of the following:
Outright purchase of the whole business or company shares, with no seller lock-up
A staged purchase with lock-up and earn-out
A merger with, or substantial stake in the target business, followed by a full purchase
Leveraged buy-out (LBO), arranged with an optimum mix of senior and mezzanine lenders
Creating a roll-up to list on the ASX via an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of merged entities.
