Are you buying or selling a business?

We have well-developed structures and processes for screening acquisitions, valuing targets and negotiating deals. Our team based approach adds value through fostering practical action plans and a "can do" attitude.

Catalyst helps clients address challenges like:

• How can we fill the profit gap between where we are heading and the market's expectations?
• Is acquisition or joint venture a better route to growth?
• How can I extract more value from buying or selling a business?
• Who can I delegate these M&A projects to?
• How can we integrate this new business and make the sum greater than the parts?

Post-merger management is the key success factor for many acquisition programmes. We recommend pre-planning an acquisition with a transition team to develop the definitive action plans, deadlines and role definitions needed for successful integration. If but a fraction of the time, cost and analysis of ‘making the deal’ went into planning to make it work, the number of successful acquisitions would rise dramatically.
