Acquisition Target Identification

M&A Advisory

Overview

From complementary bolt-ons, to major step-change acquisitions, we are experts at identifying and screening potential acquisition targets. We work closely with financial sponsors and management teams to develop and define acquisition criteria. Through our methodology we can identify and evaluate the attractiveness of a large number of potential targets to provide you with a list of acquisition candidates. As investment bankers, we can conduct outreach to understand the actionability of identified companies, provide introductions and support you throughout your potential acquisition.

Bolt-on Acquisitions

Whether you are a private equity firm trying to expand a platform business or a company looking to expand your offering across product or service lines, technologies, or geographic foot prints we can help you identify bolt on acquisitions that fit with your company and growths plans. Our target identification capabilities will allow you to identify bolt-ons poised for growth that fit with your strategic plans and maximize your the value of your acquisition strategy.

Major Acquisitions

Whatever your acquisition strategy, identifying proprietary off market acquisition candidates allows you to create value well beyond process driven acquisitions. We work with you to understand which industry verticals you are interested in, the financial characteristics of potential targets, key geographies, and your strategic goals. Our proprietary company identification process coupled with our extensive company databases and deep understanding of the energy and industrial space allows you to identify actionable acquisition targets before they are brought to market.

Potential Sellers

As a potential seller of a business, gaining a better understanding of likely acquirers allows you to understand the market’s appetite for your business, potential valuations and the type and breadth of potential acquirers. We can identify prospective acquirers and discreetly gauge interest allowing you to make a better decision on when and how to sell your business to maximize your exit value. We can then support your sales process through our investment banking capabilities.

Our Methodology

We work with you to understand your targeted industries, target company financial metrics, and other investment criteria. We query our extensive internal databases of companies and conduct extensive discussions with key market participants to assess a wide range of potential targets. Through conversations with SMEs and key industry players we identify and vet the key companies in your targeted industry verticals. Our understanding of the M&A process allows us to identify companies that fit your criteria and understand their actionability to enable you to increase your proprietary deal flow.

We work with energy & industrial companies, their owners and investors to help:

  • Buy and sell companies and raise capital
  • Perform due diligence on potential acquisitions
  • Prepare owners and management teams for a sale process
