Acquisitions
Acquisitions frequently underpin a successful growth strategy. Growth by acquisition is normally quicker than organic growth, particularly when establishing a presence in a new market or in a new country.
However, acquisitions do carry associated risks and it is therefore important to understand and investigate fully the business being acquired. CCS can assist you in all stages of the acquisition, for instance, with:
-
Strategy review
Formulating your acquisition strategy from a review of your business and the market environment
-
Target search
Identifying and assessing suitable potential targets
-
Valuation
Determining the price to be offered on the basis of the target´s financial and market position
-
Investigation
Carrying out a detailed investigation of the target, including an assessment of its competitive position, its trading and financial performance, its human resources and its accounting and information systems
- Closing and post-completion
Ensuring that the deal is completed quickly and the acquired business is successfully integrated
