FAQ
M&A, your questions
What is the difference between an acquisition and a build-up?
An acquisition means buying a company. A build-up is a repeated external-growth strategy: several acquisitions are consolidated around a platform to create value through scale and synergies.
How does a disposal process work, step by step?
Preparation and valuation, drafting of materials, targeted approach to buyers, receipt and analysis of offers, due diligence, negotiation and closing. Upfront preparation is decisive.
How long does an M&A deal take?
It depends on size, complexity and the number of parties. Each deal has its own timeline; we frame it from the outset with the owner.
Should the company be prepared before a sale?
Yes. Clarifying performance, securing legal and tax points and formalising the equity story are best done before the process, to enter negotiation on solid ground.
