Mergers and Acquisitions are a key part of a corporate’s growth strategy. Some of the key benefits of this exercise include increased market share, vertical integration, access to IP and newer technologies, enhanced product offerings and/or diversified product line, et al.
We help technology providers with targeted Mergers & Acquisitions in technology provider and captive space by identifying the best fit companies. Our proprietary framework is leveraged to identify the right M&A target, shortlisting, and due diligence.
We conduct primary profiling and assessment to evaluate the target company as a prospective for acquisition/investment. We leverage our proprietary M&A Proclivity Framework, along with inputs from the client to shortlist and prioritize key companies for M&A.
