We worked closely with the CFO and executive leadership of a specialty manufacturing company to prepare for a strategic acquisition process. The engagement required comprehensive business optimisation, financial reporting enhancement and strategic positioning to maximise transaction value and attract quality acquirers.
We developed a detailed confidential information memorandum highlighting the company’s market position, operational capabilities and growth potential. Our valuation analysis employed multiple methodologies including comparable company analysis, precedent transactions and discounted cash flow models to establish realistic valuation expectations. We coordinated comprehensive due diligence preparation, organising financial records, operational documentation and legal compliance materials. Our deal structuring advice covered negotiation strategy, term sheet analysis and transaction timeline management to optimise outcomes for all stakeholders.
Our M&A advisory facilitated a successful sale valued at over £83 million, exceeding the client’s initial valuation expectations by 11% and attracting multiple qualified bidders that strengthened negotiating position. The transaction closed within the planned timeline with comprehensive post-merger integration planning that ensured business continuity and employee retention during the ownership transition.
