Buying a business

Getting the deal over the line and delivering the financial outcome

Our team are experienced in getting deals over the line and navigating all the complexities and challenges that come with buying a business whilst ensuring that we achieve the right financial outcome for you while maintaining a positive relationship with a seller.

Looking at the whole picture

Our team understands that successful acquisitions are driven by more than financial metrics. That’s why we look at cultural alignment, market positioning, long-term growth potential, and wider factors when helping our clients acquire a business and maximise value.

Identifying potential targets for acquisition

If your business has decided to grow through acquisition, we can help identify potential targets through our industry networks, market insight, and research capabilities to identify the right opportunities that align with your growth strategy, including off-market deals.

Comprehensive due diligence management and support

Our team help businesses maximise value when acquiring by coordinating thorough due diligence across financial, commercial, legal, and operational aspects of a deal, helping you uncover potential risks and opportunities.

Deal structuring and funding

Where funding is required to support an acquisition, our team can identify the most appropriate funding sources and build a funding structure that works for your business and the deal and advise and help you negotiate a financing package via our relationships with a wide range of funders.

Defining your acquisition strategy and criteria

Based on our experience, market knowledge, and research capabilities, we can help you define your acquisition strategy, defining objectives and target acquisition criteria, including size, geography, and strategic fit.

Research and identify potential targets

Our team undertakes market analysis to identify potential acquisition targets aligned with your acquisition strategy, utilising our research capabilities, industry networks, and market insight.

Approaching potential targets

We approach potential acquisition targets on your behalf, helping to identify and ‘unlock’ off market opportunities, managing the initial approach, confidentiality agreement, analysis of information, and negotiation of key terms.

Due diligence and legals

Our team are properly resourced with dedicated specialist professionals to support clients and to minimise the stress of buying a business and the delivery of the best outcomes.
