M&A Activity Review
A review of mergers and acquisitions activity in a sector is an essential tool in exploring the full range of options when a business owner starts to think about selling their company. Our comprehensive M&A review will:
- Gauge levels of company transaction activity in your client’s particular sector
- Get an insight into the factors driving companies acquiring others similar to your client
- Understand valuation multiples being paid and what might be driving those multiples
Our review will help you and your client to understand how attractive a trade sale might be and whether this might ultimately raise more cash than the sale of the business to management in a management buyout.
