Buy-side M&A

Making a good investment decision means buying into the right destination, at the right time, at the right price, which is a difficult genre. In order to avoid bad decisions, we think according to the following methodology:

• Gather public information available about the target company, analyse the industry, the target company’s markets and competitors. We involve the industry experts belonging to our network of contacts in our analyses, and we rely on our previous references and experiences.
• Evaluate the target company and determine the value range within which we consider it worthwhile to bid. We will prepare the indicative offer.
• We perform a due diligence of the company, which may include financial, legal and tax parts as well as technological, real estate or other professional due diligence. If necessary, we involve a partner law firm or tax experts and auditing specialists for legal and tax due diligence.
• We structure the transaction. We support our investment partners in obtaining the necessary resources. We address banks with the right expertise, ask for offers and lead loan negotiations.
• We lead the contractual negotiations, the bargain, we formulate proposals on how to manage the risks identified during the screening.
• After concluding the contracts, we ensure that the obligations under the contracts are fulfilled by the parties, we support the preparation of the loan calls and we participate in the closing event.
• Throughout the process, we monitor the company's performance, monitor the market and significant economic events so that no unpleasant surprises occur to the buyer either before or after the purchase price is paid.
