An external growth strategy, with no in-house M&A team
Locala, a technology company in digital advertising, receives inbound opportunities and reviews acquisition targets as part of its external growth strategy. Its finance department needs structured analytical capacity, available on demand, without building a dedicated M&A team.
What is produced
- Analysis of targets and inbound opportunities: activities, business model, position in the value chain, strategic rationale
- Valuation work and critical review of the financial information provided
- Concise investment notes to prepare decisions - which remain in the client's hands
- Long-term monitoring of the acquisition pipeline, at the pace of opportunities
Support over the long term
The assignment is ongoing: every inbound opportunity is analysed against the same framework, which makes opportunities comparable with one another and speeds up decisions.
What this case illustrates
The role of an outsourced M&A team alongside a finance department - the core of the Acquisition strategy service.
Who is it for?
Finance departments, business owners and funds reviewing acquisitions without an in-house M&A team, who want analyses to investment committee standards.
