Buy-Side Advisory FAQs
What is buy-side advisory in M&A?
Buy-side advisory refers to professional guidance provided to individuals, corporations, and private equity firms looking to acquire another business. An experienced M&A advisor helps buyers identify target companies, conduct due diligence, evaluate financial and strategic fit, negotiate deal terms, and manage the entire acquisition process from start to finish.
Why should I hire a buy-side M&A advisor?
Hiring a buy-side advisor ensures you have the right support throughout the complex acquisition process. Advisors provide access to off-market opportunities, perform in-depth analysis, manage negotiations, and mitigate risks. By leveraging their network and expertise, buyers can secure better deals, save time, and increase the chances of a successful transaction.
What industries do you specialize in for buy-side advisory?
Our buy-side M&A advisory team has experience across multiple industries, including manufacturing and industrial, business services, construction and real estate, agriculture and aquaculture, retail and hospitality, professional services, security and defence, healthcare, technology, and more. This industry expertise allows us to tailor acquisition strategies to your specific market.
Do you assist with cross-border acquisitions?
Yes. We provide specialized advisory services for international acquisitions. Our team has experience navigating cultural differences, regulatory requirements, and local market conditions. By bridging communication gaps and managing complex cross-border negotiations, we help clients expand globally with confidence.
How do buy-side advisors add value during negotiations?
Advisors play a critical role in negotiations by structuring deals that maximize value and reduce risk. They leverage financial modelling, market benchmarks, and deep transaction experience to negotiate favourable purchase prices, financing options, and terms. Their expertise ensures buyers don’t overpay and that the transaction aligns with strategic goals.
Who pays for buy-side advisory services?
In most cases, the buyer compensates the buy-side advisor for their services. The fee structure may vary depending on the scope of work, transaction size, and advisory agreement. Unlike sell-side advisors who are paid by the seller, buy-side advisors are solely aligned with the buyer’s best interests.
How long does the acquisition process usually take?
The timeline for a buy-side transaction can vary depending on the size, complexity, and type of business being acquired. On average, acquisitions may take between six months to over a year, as the process involves research, negotiations, due diligence, and regulatory approvals.
Can you help with financing an acquisition?
Yes. Part of our buy-side advisory service includes assisting buyers in identifying financing options. We work with lenders, private equity firms, and investors to secure debt financing, equity financing, or a combination of both, ensuring you have the right capital structure to close the deal.
