M&A Advisors What is their role?

As an M&A Advisor one of the comments I hear most from my clients is: “I wish we had spoken to you sooner”.

It is also not uncommon for people to ask me “So what is it you actually do as an M&A Advisor?”

M&A stands for Mergers and Acquisitions. We generally classify our services into two categories, Sell Side Advisory Services and Buy Side Advisory Services. Put rather simply, we provide advice and assistance to clients, mostly individuals and companies, who are looking to either sell their businesses or shareholding in a business, or clients who are looking to buy a business or acquire an interest in a business. We are not stockbrokers or Financial Advisors. An M&A Advisor takes an active approach in guiding and assisting an individual or company to successfully complete the transaction. Sadly, we are often brought in when transactions and negotiations have already commenced and when clients find themselves in a tough spot and under pressure to conclude a transaction with doubts as to whether they are getting the best deal. Ultimately, anyone looking to sell or acquire a business or an interest in one, wants a certain level of peace of mind before they sign the dotted line.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
