M&A services

Acquisition of a local business is a key to a quick market entry allowing you to instantly build or grow your presence in a particular country or geography, as well as gain strategic advantage over rival buyers and investors. Investorium provides a full range of M&A related services on the Buyer's side – market and industry review, acquisition targets search and analysis, approach and negotiations support, financial and legal Due Diligence, deal structuring and closure.

At the same time, there are a lot of complexities inherent in the acquisition process, and a transaction may fail if such complexities are not dealt with. We should also take care of the transition period after the transaction, when the post-merger integration of the acquired and existing business is in focus, to ensure synergetic and non-destructive effect from the acquisition.

Selling business may be the most time-to-market solution when it is predetermined by changing business environments, whether caused by particular market cycles, or an overall economic downturn or a change of the political landscape. Investorium offers a full range of Sell-side M&A services providing the business owner with a backup on how to ‘wrap up’ and prepare business for sale, identify and take in potential strategic buyers or financial investors, set up a virtual tender and manage the deal up to its closure, maximizing the Seller’s gains from the business sale.

A typical Sell-side M&A process includes a business analysis and valuation, the preparation of an Information Memorandum, the long-listing of potential buyers and investors, investor Due Diligence and negotiations support, deal structuring and closure on a turn-key basis. Whenever necessary, we can rely on help from our international M&A network and contacts in order to bring in potential buyers/investors from other geographies, which may be critical for an industrial business or a specialized asset sale.

By combining the local partner’s strength with the international span and technological advantages of the foreign partner, a strategic partnership helps to make up for the lack of local resources, creates a synergetic effect for all the parties involved, and brings a joint business to a higher level of competitiveness. Strategic partnerships have an advantage wherever and whenever international expertise can be reinforced by local partners’ capabilities, which is especially important for large-scale investments in strategic sectors of the real economy like Oil & Gas, Energy & Infra and other related industries.

Investorium was involved in a number of major strategic partnership developments, where our Clients had an opportunity to leverage their global position by joining forces with a strong local player and building up a better position in the local market. We help our international Clients to identify a fitting local partner (and vice versa - a fitting foreign partner for our local Clients) and to carve out the advantages of a strategic alliance over a stand-alone position.
