Buy Side Mandates
The reasons for making acquisitions vary widely, but the underlying reason is to create shareholder value. From our backgrounds in private equity firms, entrepreneurial and industrial companies we have gained a good understanding of the selection criteria and key success factors for making successful acquisitions. Understanding the specific needs and preferences of our clients is a prerequisite for a successful process.
At ScandCap we assist our clients throughout the acquisition process where we work with a well-defined and proven methodology. A process often begins with defining the strategic rationale for making acquisitions. A wide search of potential targets is conducted and matched against a set of predefined criteria. After contacting a selected number of companies a short list of candidates is derived. ScandCap assists in defining integration plans, analysing possible synergies, making financial valuations and finally structuring and negotiating commercial terms. ScandCap also assists with acquisition financing when necessary.
