Buy-Side Advisory Services

As part of their overall strategic plans and to complement their organic growth initiatives, companies often seek additional growth through well-rationalized, complementary acquisitions of strategically related businesses. As part of our buy-side advisory services, Founders works with clients to establish a realistic and achievable acquisition program that has several key elements:

  • A systematic process is used to identify, research and prioritize potential targets and ensure they are carefully aligned with the overall strategic plan and direction of the client;
  • The approach strategy for targets is customized to the unique understanding of each, which has been created through in-depth research and conversations within the selected industry niche;
  • The dialogues with targets are relational in order to efficiently determine the most attractive and realistic fits among the potential targets;
  • The structure of any transaction is expeditiously determined to drive negotiations and effectively arrive at well-crafted, attractive letters of intent;
  • The appropriate capital is available and accessible to quickly fund a transaction;
  • Expectations for buyers and sellers are correctly assessed at the outset to ensure a smooth and timely closing for each acquisition.

Ultimately, our approach is to apply our transaction experience, creativity and expertise in a collaborative effort with our client to shape the most viable solution and drive to a successful outcome.
