OUR PROCESS

MAA team conducts business modeling, deal structuring and price guidance in order to identify the strategic benefits regarding the target company. Our experienced consultants search for potential buyers, perform extensive financial analysis, due diligence, negotiations, valuations, and risk assessment. M&A team provides expertise throughout the process of the business merger or buyout by providing the below support systems.

1. Perform business valuation

MAA team is brought in right from the beginning of the acquisition process. They assess the acquiring business and make sure that the books are in order. They also ensure relevant documents are available. These may include incorporation certificates, tax filings, lease and loan agreements, easing the acquisition process.

2. Develop an acquisition strategy

Once the reason for an acquisition or merger has been identified,  MAA will develop a strategy to acquire a target company that is in line with the vision of the acquiring company. Our team will steer conversations towards the identified criteria such as location, operational capabilities and technological innovations. For example, If one of the key criteria was geographical location then the target company has to be in a specific area.

3. Acquisition planning

In this stage, the M&A advisor begins to reach out to potential targets that meet the proposed criteria and provide the best strategic benefit to the acquiring company. A business valuation is made on the best offers and then pricing negotiations begin. Documents are examined in detail to verify terms and conditions a requisite for successful deal making as inadequate validation can cause a deal to fall through.

4. Due Diligence

The next step after the letter of intent is submitted, is the due diligence process. In this stage, a detailed analysis is performed on the target company’s assets and operations. This process reveals any weaknesses the company may have and provides an overview of the true financial status. If all is in order, the buyer and seller enter into a legally binding sale contract.

5. Closing the deal and integration

The buyer meets the sale agreement conditions and legally takes over the target company. The MAA consultant at this point provides help to the acquiring company on successfully closing the deal and the two companies can begin to work together to integrate.
