Achieve your business goals with mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that advance your vision for the future. We can help you set your criteria, identify and contact targets, and handle the deal process for you, including making an offer and raising finance.

Defining your strategy

Defining an acquisition strategy should be a collaborative process between buyer and adviser, with you sharing your objectives and our corporate finance experts helping you to shape a strategy around them. 

Whether you are looking to enter a new industry or expand your market share, we can identify targets and provide tailored advice on which acquisition method is likely to obtain the best results. 

Identifying targets

We can help you identify acquisition targets with the most potential by using market research and our extensive database of M&A professionals including banks, private equity houses, conglomerates and other advisers. By establishing target criteria, we are able to focus our search on the businesses most aligned with your goals.  

Using financial analysis, due diligence and our broad expertise, we can evaluate each target’s strengths, weaknesses and suitability to assist in your decision-making. When it comes to which target to buy, the decision is yours but our insights can help you make the right choice.  

Deal support

PKF Corporate Finance offers extensive support at every stage of the deal process, from fundraising and valuation to identifying targets, guiding negotiations and due diligence.
