Mergers & Acquisitions

As the South East's leading independent corporate finance firm, EMC has advised on and negotiated hundreds of company mergers, acquisitions, buy-outs and buy-ins over the last 21 years.

Many of these have been during difficult economic times. The current recession represents as many opportunities as threats for those prepared to seek them out. With many companies struggling to survive the turbulent conditions, there are potentially rich pickings to be had, particularly by companies holding cash.

However, of all the good reasons you may have for wanting to acquire a business, the fact that it's a bargain shouldn't be the driving one. Like a suit bought in a sale, it also has to fit properly if it's to be of any value.

We can help you to devise, plan and execute a clear acquisition strategy that will help ensure that you don't buy a pig in a poke... no matter how cheaply!

Our service includes:

  • Establishing and defining the benefits of a merger or acquisition
  • Identifying a range of targets
  • Carrying out due diligence
  • Valuing the target business
  • Negotiating finance
  • Making an initial offer
  • Agreeing the main terms and conditions of the deal
  • Updating due diligence once given access to the target business
  • Negotiating and finalising the terms of the deal
