Although M&A can be an extremely powerful strategic tool, many companies lack a structured, informed and disciplined approach to corporate development.

Companies often require assistance in defining and improving their in-house M&A strategy and capabilities.

Allwood focuses on serving clients by providing specialised M&A advisory services to companies, covering

• Market and competitor analysis
• The development of a long term M&A strategy
• The identification of target companies
• Initial independent and informal approach to target companies
• Corporate valuations
• Deal structure, including Management Buy Outs (MBOs)
• Deal negotiations from Heads of Terms through to completion
• Legal documentation management
• The due diligence process
• Fund raising and financing of acquisitions

We also advise on post acquisition integration issues which cover branding and management, and efficiencies in human resources, systems and corporate structure.

Please contact us should you need advice on your M&A strategy. We provide a free of charge and confidential analysis of the commercial options open to you and how our advisory service can help you meet your objectives.
