private placements, and M&A transactions.
We help private
equity investors and corporate
strategic buyers with the full
range of issues including: due diligence; accounting and tax
structuring; merger integration and post-transaction
considerations and in doing so are :
-
Selective - as we must invest a great deal in
analyzing and packaging our clients, in targeting
potential purchasers and in the successful execution of
our process;
-
Discreet
& Confidential - confidentiality is always strictly
enforced for your protection;
-
Thorough - our thorough analysis of the client
and the market at the start of the engagement ensures
that we eliminate unpleasant surprises and deliver
exceptional outcomes for our clients;
-
Professional - we deliver a high level of
professional M&A expertise and experience typically not
accessible or affordable for middle market firms
Business Sales
Whether selling an entire business, a division, or simply an
equity stake in a business, we thoroughly analyse the
business and the relevant markets associated therewith and
work with the seller to design the best strategy to take the
business to market and to harvest the maximum value thereof.
We manage potential buyers and systematically evaluate
offers with the business owner. We guide the business owner
through every stage of the sale process. The details of our
process are customized to meet the needs of the particular
business, the market and the terms and payout requirements
of each party.

We manage the entire process from beginning to closing,
meaning less interference in your business operation and

Business Acquisitions
Aldes M&A works with business investors, private equity
investors and corporate strategic buyers to help them find,
evaluate and acquire all or part of a business. We offer a
level of strict confidentiality and professionalism at the
earliest stages of an acquisition approach that can create
an opportunity where the buyer’s own direct approach would
be met with hostility or indifference.
We work with buyers to translate their criteria into a
profile that can be used to drive a focused acquisition
search. A profile typically includes information about the
target business sectors, sales volume, EBITDA, target
regions, etc. We use this profile to identify and screen
targets for the client. Targets are evaluated prior to
making a confidential approach so that realistic
expectations can be set very early in the subsequent
discussions.
For businesses that have been approached by a seller or that
are already considering an acquisition we provide a full
range of M&A services to ensure that the right business is
acquired at the best price and on the best terms.
Buyer services that we provide include:
-
Acquisition criteria refinement and focus
-
Development of acquisition parameters to drive the
business search
-
Target screening of potential businesses prior to
contact
-
Evaluation of potential business targets
-
Determining realistic valuations and ironing out
integration issues
