Acquisitions are an appropriate tool for the implementation of growth strategies. As an alternative to organic growth and greenfield investments, acquisitions provide a variety of opportunities for companies: expansion into new markets, products and customer segments, improvement of the competitive position and/or the increase of margins and business results.
CD Invest offers integrated advice on the acquisition process: in a first step, the growth strategy is analyzed and accordingly developed – based on the outcome, companies (targets) for a potential acquisition are researched. The considered parameters that are directly derived from the growth strategy of the buyer guide the research process and aim at identifying targets with the greatest benefits regarding a potential integration into the client’s company.
The calculation of an indicative business valuation, the creation of a buyer’s memorandum, the coordination of the due diligence (DD) process and the assistance in the purchase negotiation should be overseen by one partner to ensure the continuity of the transaction from one phase to the next.
