Corporate Finance can be extremely helpful, but the answer to this specific question is ‘no’. You do not need it, but it can be helpful in appropriate circumstances. For example, where transactions are significant, or complex in structure, or perhaps if you have the resources but not the experience.
Many of our clients already have the capabilities in-house for corporate finance or have existing relationships with trusted firms. Therefore, the main gap is deal origination which is our key specialization. For some, we can (as outlined below) recommend firms specializing in Corporate Finance to be on hand to advise and support.
There is still a need for deal sourcing and support through the acquisition process. Careful oversight is critical to realizing a successful outcome.
For most acquirers, the challenge is the deal flow: finding enough opportunities to hold talks. Other areas can be resolved, but without enough suitable deals in play, the acquisition process stalls. For others, it is valuation, to ensure they are capable of making a fair offer and deal structure for their targets, which is related to raising finance.
Finally, for some, it is about the relationships and dynamics between the two parties – is there a cultural fit?
Depending on the need, we work closely with several specialist firms that can help you with the financing of the acquisition. This can range from simpler financing which is based on one or more specific areas to a specialist broker who can scour the market for the best terms and rates for different forms of financing, all the way to a turnkey corporate finance house who we have worked closely with on several deals.
We also know of many firms that specialise in backing MBO or MBI candidates, offering a wide range of funding options to support an acquisition. So if you want to discuss this further, then please contact the team.
Better still you are using specialists in the different aspects of deal origination, giving you greater visibility on the core elements of the process with clearer demarcation.
