M&A & Strategic Transactions
Buying, selling or planning the next chapter?
OUC helps businesses prepare the commercial case, clarify the transaction objective and coordinate the right conversations.
Choose your perspective
A transaction has to work for more than one party.
For sellers and succession owners
Prepare the commercial case, continuity plan, information and expectations before a buyer appears.
For target companies
Understand the approach, assess strategic fit and protect the business while conversations develop.
For strategic partners
Clarify the strategic contribution, ownership expectations and role each party would bring.
Succession & strategic matching
Who carries the business forward?
The next owner may value the capability, customers, people and market position that an established founder has built.
- Qualify owner objectives and buyer criteria
- Protect confidentiality before wider disclosure
- Coordinate a serious first conversation when fit is credible
Acquisition financing
The acquisition thesis comes before the target list.
Acquisition financing only makes sense after the buyer is clear about what capability or market position it needs, why the target fits and how the combined business may support the structure.
