ACQUISITION AND SUCCESSION<\/p>

Find the right fit
for the business.<\/em><\/h2><\/div>

If you are looking to acquire, we start with what the purchase needs to achieve. You might want to enter a market, add a capability or extend your reach. We turn that objective into search criteria and research businesses that could fit.<\/p>

If you are considering a sale or succession, we start with what you want to protect or pass on. That might include continuity for staff and customers, the company\u2019s identity or a role for you during the handover. Those priorities help shape which buyers we consider.<\/p>

We agree who to approach, what can be shared and when to make an introduction. The aim is to give both parties enough context to decide whether a first conversation is worthwhile.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

Find suitable businesses or buyers<\/h3>

A buyer may want to enter a new market, add a capability or expand its geographic reach. An owner planning succession may want a buyer who can preserve key relationships and give the team continuity. We agree the criteria with you, research relevant businesses or buyers, prepare a non-confidential outline and approach agreed contacts to establish whether there is a basis for discussion.<\/p>

Depending on the brief, you receive a shortlist with the reasons each party fits, together with a record of initial interest and suggested next steps.<\/p><\/article>

Understand how the businesses work<\/h3>

Specialist partners can carry out separately scoped people and cultural due diligence. They can examine leadership, decision-making, working practices and reliance on key people, drawing on interviews and agreed organisational material.<\/p>

Their findings can highlight differences between the businesses, risks to address and questions for further investigation. Legal, financial and tax advisers cover their respective parts of the transaction.<\/p><\/article>

\"\"<\/span>

Prepare to bring teams together<\/h3>

Where integration support forms part of the brief, specialist partners can help leaders identify critical relationships, agree priorities for the first weeks and plan how to communicate changes to teams.<\/p>

Outputs can include a people integration plan, named owners for actions and a schedule for reviewing progress.<\/p><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n
