Our services
Carrying out due diligence is a key part of the mergers and acquisition process. Using our extensive experience, we provide tailored reports to facilitate informed business decisions.
The SPA is a key document for any transaction. We are experts in advising on SPAs, alongside your legal advisors, to ensure what is commercially agreed upon is what ends up on paper.
The underlying data behind a business holds countless insights. We can leverage our expertise and software to draw additional understandings during the deal process and continue to support analysis and reporting post-acquisition.
Our team provides practical guidance and pragmatic solutions to help you navigate evolving diligence and reporting requirements.

The buy and build landscape

An introduction to buy and build
As part of their acquisition strategies, we see businesses, investors, and individuals looking to transact multiple times in the same (or similar) industry vertical – this is commonly referred to as a “buy and build” or corporate roll-up strategy.
Buy and build in professional services
We have seen a considerable amount of consolidation within the accounting sector in recent years and are now seeing this expanding into the legal services sector. Professional services firms have consistently attracted M&A activity, due to the fragmented nature of the industries.

Buy and build in SaaS and technology
Consolidation in this space continues to accelerate as platforms seek scale, target recurring revenue, and build out specialist capabilities in increasingly competitive markets.

Buy and build in the industrial sector
The UK industrial and manufacturing sector remains an active ground for buy and build strategies, with fragmentation, niche specialisms, and opportunities for operational improvement driving sustained M&A activity.
