Overview
Most acquisitions underperform because the due diligence is shallow and the integration plan is an afterthought. We take a different approach -- we combine deep technology audits with financial modelling to understand what a target is actually worth and what it will actually cost to integrate.
We validate projected synergies honestly, surface hidden liabilities in IT and operations and build integration plans designed to deliver value quickly, not three years down the line.
What we do
- Target identification & screening: We go beyond the obvious candidates, using data-driven analysis and sector expertise to find acquisition targets with the IP, talent or market access you need.
- Technology & operational due diligence: We audit the target's IT infrastructure, security posture and operational processes to give you an honest picture of integration costs and technical debt.
- Post-merger integration: We manage the integration of cultures, technology platforms and supply chains, keeping disruption to the core business to a minimum while moving quickly on synergies.
- Carve-outs & divestitures: When you're selling or separating a business unit, we handle the operating model separation and IT environment stand-up to maximise the value of the divested entity.
How we work
We use small, experienced teams -- people who've been operators, technologists and financial specialists -- rather than large advisory committees. This means faster decisions and less overhead.
We bring operational and technological realities to the negotiation table early. This reduces the risk of overpaying for synergies that don't materialise and means integrations are planned properly from day one.
