Acquisition Targets
What our client is seeking
We’re working on several live mandates for a client expanding a twelve-company Group. They’re benchmarking the next wave of targets and prioritising owners who value speed, certainty, and a respectful handover.
Speed and certainty
From first conversation to completion can be as quick as four weeks; the average is four months. They provide proof of funds and evidence of prior acquisitions, and they have the expertise to support and grow the businesses they acquire.
Acquisition criteria
-
Add back Covid-19-related losses to normalise historic accounts.
-
Build a complementary Group to strengthen competitive advantage.
-
Use future profits to inform valuation and returns.
-
Offer flexible deal structures and handover periods that meet your needs.
-
Protect the skills, culture, and goodwill already in place.
Our role
We qualify suitability against the brief, protect both sides’ confidentiality, lead first-stage negotiations, and support the buyer’s internal acquisitions team through to a clean, successful close.
Next steps
If you’re considering succession or seeking a value-realising exit, we’d welcome a confidential discussion.
