What We Can Achieve Together
Revenue Acceleration
Our proprietary Merger and Acquisition process quantifies the growth synergies that deliver the maximum value and revenue impact. It then provides the integration plan to minimize risk, reduce business interruption and turn your long-term growth strategy into a short-term plan.
Market Dominance
Take out a competitor, leapfrog a rival or consolidate market demand.
Industry data shows that a merger between companies can reduce competition among them and immediately expand market access and market share.
Competitive Advantage
Develop M&A as a core competency and competitive advantage.
Build M&A as a capability that repeatedly and predictably creates value and accelerates revenue growth—and does so better and faster than competitors.
A Focus on Business Growth Realization
We help clients seeking inorganic growth by identifying strategic acquisition candidates, performing commercial due diligence, calculating new value and combined uplift, and realizing that value with post-merger integration programs.
Our M&A advisory services are designed to increase revenue growth and market cap for midmarket companies. What makes our M&A consulting unique is that we apply industry data, operating benchmarks and predictive analytics to quantifiably show how and how much the acquisition target can boost revenue and value over defined periods of time.
Our value proposition is squarely focused on identifying, engineering, forecasting and realizing revenue growth created from acquired companies. For most combinations, we apply three value realization levers.
- We surface latent revenue growth opportunities for the acquisition candidate; that is untapped or underperforming revenue streams that can be quickly improved and expanded
- We apply industry benchmarks for the acquisition candidate to show and prioritize the biggest and fastest revenue uplift opportunities
- We identify, measure, and prioritize the synergistic growth opportunities among the acquisition candidate and the acquirer
Unlocking revenue potential is a process, not an event. So, to visualize that process each of the above three levers apply data and predictive analytics so that the evaluator can test assumptions, compare performance measures, understand tradeoffs, and view pro forma revenue and profit results in real-time.
We apply industry benchmarks to identify the target company's low hanging fruit and evidence-based best practices to forecast measurable uplift.
For example, if the acquisition candidate's sales win rate is 46%, is that good? Well, not if the industry average is 48.5%. And multiplied by the volume of deals this could be a significant deviation and unnoticed opportunity. Implementing the Sales Win Rate best practice for a 2.5% improvement, or getting to the Median level, will likely increase total revenues by 2.39%. That may be just one example of an otherwise hidden opportunity that impacts deal value.
Our data-driven, revenue forecasting methodology is critical to deal success. As most merger and acquisition experts will attest, unlike cost savings opportunities, revenue synergies are difficult to size and more difficult to realize. Research published in the Global M&A Report by Bain & Company, found that "Overestimating revenue synergies was the most cited reason for deal failure." This is why revenue specialists with proven frameworks are essential.
Our revenue growth recommendations don't end with measurable revenue potential. They also suggest target operating models (TOM), identify centrally governed and cross functional teams, create a value realization roadmap, rationalize go-to-market motions, ensure Day One readiness, and plot a 100-day plan. This allows the company to begin unlocking new value on day one.
