Customers looking to acquire a minority or a majority stake in a company can benefit from the services of a buy-side M&A advisor in several ways:

• Identify potential targets based on pre-agreed criteria, and approach them on a confidential, no-name basis
• Act as an extension of the in-house finance or M&A team by delivering a significant part of the work-intensive constituents of the M&A process, including process management, valuation and due diligence
• Act as a full advisor, representing the buyer in the capacity of financial advisor while working closely alongside other advisors such as the legal team.
