Targeting an Acquisition

Targeting an Acquisition

For both corporate acquirers and SMEs looking to develop a buy and build strategy, acquiring another business is a significant step.

A strong strategy that aligns acquisitions with the business objectives is essential, helping identify potential acquisition targets in a way that improves the chances of securing a value-enhancing, strategically relevant business.
