Accelerated M&A
Marketing a stressed or distressed business openly
for sale can frequently impair enterprise value. As concerns
over viability increase, concern grows amongst customers and
employees and credit lines can be withdrawn by lenders and
suppliers. In circumstances of business fragility, an
Accelerated M&A process can be a vital tool to realise value
for shareholders or creditors without damaging an underlying
business.
A proven track record
Our experienced team of Accelerated M&A advisors focus on
achieving a speedy conclusion for the stakeholders, executing
transactions designed to maximise the value of a business.
We offer a proven methodology for the accelerated disposal of
businesses and have the depth of resources to manage the multiple
parties in a controlled and confidential manner.
Our Accelerated M&A team work closely with our financial and
operational restructuring teams to enhance stability and
demonstrate performance improvement opportunities during the sale
process.
