The acquisition of or merger with a competitor or complementary business can be an ideal growth solution. However many factors need to be considered beforehand, not least the compatibility of the brands, ethos and culture of the two businesses.
Having found a good match for your business, a merger can be a very successful way of becoming a dominant force in your marketplace.
Swindells corporate finance team have proven expertise and real "hands on" experience in this specialist arena and work closely with clients to:
- identify potential merger targets
- assess their suitability through due diligence
- prepare negotiation strategies
- advise on raising capital and providing introductions to contacts that may help
- optimise taxation and the financial structure for the amalgamated enterprise
- develop a plan of integration
In order to improve profitability it’s sometimes necessary to dispose of a business, or part of. Swindells can help with valuation of assets, finding buyers and negotiating sales should that be found to be a sensible solution.
