Mergers & Acquisitions
JFK Bradshaw helps identify and qualify JV/M&A targets, by providing confidential, honest and direct from source insights to use in the identification, qualifying and negotiating process.
Target screening is the systemic first level review of potential acquisition candidates to identify a refined list of companies for further due diligence and consideration. For companies seeking to acquire other companies, there’s a large list of potential targets ranging from standalone companies to subsidiaries to divisions of other companies or even carved out entities. A disciplined target screening process can create a focused list of targets from this group which are more likely to meet the needs of the acquirer. Key to success is starting with a sound acquisition strategy and a clear investment criteria and strategy that is broad enough to so that a viable option is not excluded straight out of the gate.
Even though this universe will be vast, it should be so by design at the outset. The long list of initial potential targets is then dramatically shortened by applying screening criteria.
Defining a set of guiding principles and screening criteria at the front end is critical to the buy-side success. The screening criteria vary substantially across companies. It could, for example, include criteria such as size, geographic footprint, existing and potential clients, market share or service lines.
Our M&A service provides a flexible solution at three key stages:
- Identification and qualification of merger/acquisition targets: Desk and primary research are used to identify which companies match your specific criteria and to produce a shortlist of potential targets to investigate further.
- Qualifying a potential target shortlist: We highlight which shortlisted companies have synergies with your business and their areas of under-performance
- Intelligence support for pre-due diligence: A more detailed assessment of a specific target or targets is produced for use in the valuation of a business and the negotiating process.
Each of these stages can be tailored to your specific commercial needs.
