M&A Navigator
Why Companies Call Us
When companies consider acquiring, being acquired, divesting, or merging — and the path forward is unclear, risky, or high-stakes — they call us.
Leaders often approach us when they:
Need clarity on whether M&A is the right strategic lever.
Struggle to identify the right targets or buyers.
Lack valuation confidence or deal-structuring expertise.
Face overwhelming due diligence and negotiation complexity.
Worry about realizing synergies or managing post-merger integration.
We help organizations move from uncertainty to strategic precision — ensuring that every deal is grounded in value creation, risk mitigation, and long-term alignment.
What We Do
• Define M&A strategy and identify high-fit targets using market landscape analysis, target screening, and synergy modeling.
• Advise on valuation and deal structuring, including DCF, EBITDA multiples, scenario modeling, deal economics, and term-sheet support.
• Manage financial, operational, and legal due diligence to uncover risks early and enable informed, confident decision-making.
• Drive disciplined transaction execution through data-room management, negotiation coaching, and board-level communications.
• Lead post-merger integration, ensuring cultural alignment, synergy realization, and measurable value capture within the first 100 days.
• Support divestitures and carve-outs, identifying buyers, structuring transitions, and maximizing exit value.
How It Works
1. Strategy & Alignment (3–4 weeks)
We define the M&A thesis, strategic rationale, target universe, and valuation range — setting the foundation for an efficient, high-confidence process.
Deliverables: Target list, synergy logic, valuation boundaries.
2. Deal Structuring & Negotiation (4–8 weeks)
We develop financial models, evaluate scenarios, advise on deal terms, and support negotiations to optimize economics and risk allocation.
Deliverables: Valuation model, deal structure, term-sheet support.
3. Due Diligence Coordination (3–6 weeks)
We coordinate cross-functional diligence, highlight red flags, quantify exposures, and build mitigation plans to protect value.
Deliverables: DD tracker, risk assessment, mitigation roadmap.
4. Integration / Transition Planning (8–12 weeks)
We design a 100-day integration strategy focused on people, culture, operating models, and synergy capture.
Deliverables: 100-day plan, KPI dashboard, synergy model.
