The stages of the M&A process
01. Acquisition Strategy
It evolves around the concrete expectations of the buyer and establishes the business objective considered when acquiring the target company.
The key criteria in identifying target companies are determined (eg profit margins, geographical location, customer base).
We use our own search criteria to identify and evaluate potential target companies.
We contact one or more companies that meet the established criteria. The purpose of the initial discussions is to get more information and test how flexible the company is for M&A.
If the initial contact went well, we ask the target company to provide substantial information (up-to-date financial statements, etc.) that will help us to make a deeper assessment of the target company.
After developing the various evaluation models, the buyer will have enough information to allow him to make a non-binding offer.
After presenting the offer, the two companies can start negotiating the details of the transaction.
Due diligence is a thorough process that begins when the offer is accepted. This analysis aims to confirm the previous assessment, as well as the detailed analysis from an operational, legal, financial and fiscal point of view.
If the due diligence analysis was completed without identifying serious problems, the next step is to develop the sale-purchase contract.
Even if all the financing options have already been discussed and there is already a pre-approval, the details of the financing will be established only after signing the sale-purchase contract.
After the purchase operation is completed, the teams of the two entities work together in the process of integration or merger of the two companies.
