M&A: preparing the business for a deal and supporting it through
For a mid-market owner, an M&A deal happens once or twice in a lifetime — while the other side of the table buys companies for a living. We level that field: prepare the business for the deal, put the numbers in order, support negotiations and integration — on the owner's side.
When you need us
- Preparing to sell — what raises the price 6–12 months before the deal.
- An unsolicited offer arrived — get ready for due diligence fast.
- Buying a competitor — sober valuation and an integration plan.
- After the deal — first 100 days, keeping people and clients.
What we do
Vendor readiness. Red flags a buyer will use to cut the price — fixed in advance.
Deal support. Financial model, valuation logic, materials, coordination of lawyers and auditors.
Post-merger integration. What to merge now, what to leave alone for a year, key people retention.
FAQ
6–12 months before the deal — enough to fix most discount factors.
Either, but only one side per deal.
The bank finds the buyer and runs the transaction. We handle what comes before and after: the business itself. On transactions we work alongside your bank or lawyers.
Preparation — fixed fee after scoping; transaction support — individually. We quote after the first meeting.
