Our Corporate M&A practice has a long history of supporting leading UK and global corporate acquirers in developing and implementing their growth strategies.
 
Our service offering helps corporates acquire as if they were an industry insider. This means asking the right questions, not overpaying, and making an informed investment decision. We help our clients grow profitably and successfully via acquisition, and help them avoid painful and costly mistakes

Within M&A support, we offer:

• Market screening – Helping clients understand new sectors or geographies, e.g. What are the dynamics and drivers? What factors are important to buyers of the product? Who are the main operators?
• Target identification and screening – What companies might be available to acquire, and which of those represent the most attractive opportunities?
• Commercial due diligence – Full due diligence (buy-side or sell-side) on market outlook, customer relationships, competitive position and business plan
• Strategic integration and performance improvement – Helping set the strategy post-transaction, identifying the commercial quick wins, and starting the process of integration including 100 day planning

 We feel there are a number of advantages to using PMSI:

• We work extensively for private equity – an extremely demanding client sector, where we are rapidly gaining market share
• We get conversations with the right people in order to inform the acquisition decision – our findings are not just based on desk-research and theory
• We provide a personalised service, with our senior staff spending quality time on each and every assignment, and ultimately becoming your trusted adviser
• We provide a genuinely top-tier service without the price tag of a large consultancy, adopting a pragmatic approach that is designed to precisely meet our clients’ needs
• We have a strong track record in repeat business - clients that do give us the opportunity will almost certainly come back for more
