M&A and Integration Support

 

A merger or an acquisition is an exciting and challenging time. Bankers, financial partners and legal advisors are all in place. Everyone agrees with the rationale. Despite this level of support and enthusiasm, many deals do not go smoothly. After a deal is done, integration is often difficult to manage effectively.

 

Many derailments during M&A and complications during integration can be avoided by ensuring that all negotiations are rigorously business-led. Having a business leader spearhead and drive the process gives the M&A initiative the best chance of long-term success.

 

Ignya can help by:

 

• Running a completely impartial scoping exercise to ensure that a strong business rationale exists before M&A begins

• Running a rigorously business-led M&A process to avoid the risk of participants being consumed by ‘deal fever’

• Asking the right questions at the right time during due diligence in order to keep momentum in the process

• Ensuring that there is a solid plan to integrate and run the new business efficiently from the outset

• Taking on temporary leadership roles during integration to make sure the transition is a success
