Acquisitions · Buy-side M&A
Acquire with purpose.
Whether you are growing an existing company, building a portfolio or buying your first business, Weatherley Phillips helps you define what you are looking for and pursue the right opportunity.
Why acquire?
Growth can be built. It can also be acquired.
How we help
Start with what you are trying to achieve.
We do not begin by showing you businesses that happen to be for sale. We begin by understanding the outcome you want.
Acquisition strategy
Define what type of business, market, capability or opportunity fits your objectives.
Target identification
Identify publicly marketed opportunities and, where appropriate, potential off-market targets.
Opportunity assessment
Consider strategic fit, commercial fundamentals and key questions before progressing.
Indicative valuation and deal considerations
Understand value expectations and the possible commercial structure of a transaction.
Approach and negotiation
Support confidential approaches, discussions and commercial negotiations with owners.
Transaction coordination
Work alongside legal, accounting, tax, finance and due-diligence specialists to keep the acquisition moving.
We work alongside your existing advisers or help bring the right specialists around the table.
