Maximize investment value. We provide comprehensive M&A support from strategy to post-merger integration
DI consultants work with funds and strategic investors and provide comprehensive support across all stages of the M&A process.
Identifying M&A Targets: Align potential M&A targets with the overall long-term strategy of the client.
Formulating M&A Strategy: Develop a clear and articulate M&A strategy based on the client’s long-term goals and insights from comprehensive market research.
Market Research: Conduct practical, in-depth market research, including interviews with key players and industry insiders, rather than relying solely on desk research.
Negotiation Support: Provide optimal negotiation support backed by extensive experience in cross-border M&A.
Cultural Familiarity: Understand differences in corporate culture and customs, such as decision-making methods, to prevent deadlocks due to communication issues and misunderstandings.
Communication: Maintain close communication with the target company’s owner, management, and sell-side financial advisors to find the best solutions for clients.
Pre-PMI Support:
Role Definition: Establish a clear division of roles between the client and DI for negotiations and other activities.
Relationship Building: Facilitate smooth communication between the client and target company before and during PMI by supporting relationship-building efforts.
Synergies and Collaboration: Assist in discussions to realize synergies and set up a collaborative system from Day 1.
PMI Support:
Focus on Soft PMI: Emphasize the integration of people and organization during PMI.
Observation and Education: Participate as an observer on the acquired company’s board of directors, conduct M&A seminars to educate the client’s management, and organize seminars for employees seconded to the acquired companies.
The approach outlined above is derived from our global engagements, including our own investment experience in both frontier and emerging markets.
