Mergers & Acquisitions

Development of business from green field operations has become more difficult, especially in waste management, aggregate and other businesses due to environmental issues and in these and other industries the only way to develop is by way of mergers and acquisitions.

We research individual sectors that clients operate in and identify targets for acquisition. We negotiate the acquisition and when the acquired business is bolted on to the clients existing business. Benefits include:

• brings the business into increased market share and critical mass
• economies of scale can increase both profitability and year on year growth at a much higher rate than growing by development of an existing business
• and in most cases adds immediately to the bottom line and less capital intensive than by growing through green field operations etc.

Our consultants have wide ranging experience in advising on these issues, especially in the funding of same and project management of both mergers and acquisitions including heads of agreement, legal due process, due diligence, audits etc.
