Buy & Sell Side Advisory
As BDO, we specialise in mergers and acquisitions, including helping to source and acquire businesses, management buy-outs and finance raising advice. Whether you are a corporate, a financial institution or an individual with financial backing, we can help you identify and acquire potential target companies. Selling a business is about timing, preparation, identifying the best potential buyers and strong negotiation.
The buy or sell process can involve anything from a full sector acquisition search to making introductions with companies that we already know. Similarly, we can help you out with as little or as much advice and assistance as you need to complete the deal.
Our team can support you through the sale or buy process, working alongside you to identify and mitigate valuation issues, helping you to maintain control of the process and find the best arrangement to maximise your return.
