FAQs
What are M&A advisory services?
M&A advisory services help business owners navigate the complexities of the mergers and acquisitions process. Advisors provide guidance on various stages of a deal, including but not limited to valuations, identifying potential buyers, support in conducting due diligence, advising on the optimal ways of structuring a transaction, and negotiating terms. The goal is to maximize value and mitigate risk while balancing the needs shared by the business owner from the beginning of the engagement to ensure an efficient process of selling a business.
How much does an M&A advisor cost?
The cost of hiring an M&A advisor can vary depending on the size and complexity of the deal with most fees structured as a percentage of the total transaction value (success/closing fee). Traditional M&A Advisors typically charge 15% on average and may also charge an upfront retainer fee or a fixed fee for specific services. It’s important to discuss the fee structure upfront to understand what you’re paying for.
How many M&A advisors do you really need?
In most cases, one experienced M&A advisor or advisory team is sufficient to manage a transaction. The key is finding an M&A advisor with expertise in your industry and deal size. For more complex transactions, you may need additional specialists, such as tax consultants or legal advisors, but a single M&A advisor can often recommend these resources for you.
Why hire an M&A advisor?
An M&A advisor provides valuable experience and market knowledge that can be crucial to the success of your transaction. They offer insights into the current market, help negotiate favorable terms, and handle the complexities of the deal, such as due diligence and legal requirements. Hiring an M&A advisor also frees up your time as a business owner, allowing you to focus on running your business while they handle the intricate details of the transaction. You gain access to their expertise and will have peace of mind when navigating pitfalls, which can be the difference between a successful and failed transaction.
Is M&A advisory the same as investment banking?
While there are similarities, M&A advisory services and investment banking are not the same. While both can facilitate mergers and acquisitions, M&A advisors typically focus solely on these transactions, guiding businesses through the process. Investment banks may offer M&A advisory as part of their broader financial services, but they also focus on raising capital, underwriting securities, IPOs, and other financial advisory services.
