Looking at acquiring or merging with another business can be one of the most exciting periods of a business owner’s life.

There are a number of reasons why mergers and acquisitions make sense for SMEs, but it’s important that you consider which factors you want to take advantage of when you look at M&A.

These include:

1. Profitable Growth & Revenue – Improve overall profits, increase market share and maximise market breadth and reach
2. Bolster your internal skillset – the right people are vital to success. M&A allows you to acquire proven talent within an established working framework that is already driving results
3. Defensive action – ensure that competitors do not capture vital market share by merging and increasing share together
4. Globalisation – entering a new market that shows huge growth potential by merging or acquiring a foreign company

We can help you both assess your corporate growth strategy and decide how mergers and acquisitions can help you achieve your business objectives. Once this has been clearly outlined, Due Diligence then gives you the information you need to understand the financial viability and strength of the company in question.

We’ll assess their financial performance, growth forecasts, value their assets, assess their accounts and examine their cash flow to ensure to limit the risk and maximise the growth potential of merging or acquiring this new business.
