We support our clients with potential acquisitions in Canada and, together with our M&A partner, provide professional merger and acquisition process management.
New business
- Our partners have extensive experience preparing business plans for start-ups. Clients gain insight into the common pitfalls of entrepreneurial business plans and into what lenders, venture capital partners, funds and government programs expect to see.
- We develop, evaluate and test business scenarios with our integrated financial planning tool, covering cash flow and capital structure as well as income statement projections.
- Together with our client we prepare a business plan in a format financiers accept, help find sources of financing, and support the negotiations.
- We help set up an organization that is as efficient and lean as possible, and support the first management phase to avoid typical start-up issues.
- We provide full financial accounting support so management can concentrate on growing the business.
Business acquisition
- We offer pre-deal commercial and operational due diligence, giving acquirers and vendors a coherent overview of the business.
- Our integration planning lets the client take control quickly: we assess key day-one concerns and manage them over the first 100 days, keeping momentum and minimizing disruption.
- We accelerate the change process by developing, implementing and managing detailed action plans that deliver value from the deal.
- We run post-deal reviews, usually 6–12 months after closing, to confirm the initial objectives were met and to get back on track where needed.
