Why Use An Advisor?

“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance!”

If you are thinking about “going it alone” and managing your own M&A process, we urge you to seriously consider whether you really have the right experience, knowledge and time to achieve a successful outcome.

Ask Yourself the Following Questions…

  • Do you have extensive knowledge of the complex sale/acquisition process?
  • Do you have connections with buyers in the UK and overseas and details of their M&A history?
  • Do you know the key elements that will be valued most highly by acquirers?
  • Do you understand equity value and how to determine working capital requirements and adjustments?
  • Do you have access to deal databases to assess current valuation multiples?
  • Do you have vast experience of problem solving gained from working on multiple previous deals?
  • Do you have the negotiation skills necessary to ensure you get the best for you and your business?

Also…

  • Can you maintain confidentiality while making initial contact?
  • Can you deal with multiple approaches and keep track of their progress?
  • Can you manage relationships with all parties and keep deal momentum going?
  • Can you handle problems and “unknown unknowns” that may arise?

…and, could you do all that whilst maintaining the performance of your business?

Advisors Ease the Workload and the Stress!

If you’ve answered “no” to even some of the questions above then you would absolutely benefit from finding the right M&A advisor to help you.

Going through an M&A process can be stressful, time consuming and take longer than you might expect. Advisors take on the bulk of the workload so you have more time to keep your business running smoothly. This is especially important during a sale as you need to maintain the performance of your business to reduce the chances of last-minute price chipping.

Utilising our 20+ years of M&A experience and a wide network of industry contacts, Prism’s expert advisors and professional support team will guide you throughout the sale or acquisition and beyond. We work tirelessly to help you acheive your goals.
