Mergers & Acquisitions
Acquisitions often provide a business with an opportunity to accelerate growth, vertically integrate its business activities or diversify into similar and/or counter cyclical businesses.
Acquisitions are often the most challenging project that a business can take on. Many fail to meet expectations because of a poor strategic fit, an absence of an integration plan, a failure to fully understand the business being acquired, over gearing the enlarged business and/or overpaying for perceived benefits that do not materialise.
At Beavis Morgan, we can assist you to decide if growth by acquisition is the best solution for your business, provide advice on a suitable method and amount of finance, and assess the risks associated with the acquisition.
