Acquisition strategy

Opportunism is often a leading driver in acquisitions. But, the question is whether this results in a successful acquisition. We believe it is better to raise this question in advance, rather than during the process of acquisition.

Having a well-designed acquisition strategy will considerably increase your chances of success. The acquisition strategy should be based on the company’s strategy and provide a good rationale for any acquisition.

Having a clear acquisition strategy also enables you to decide on fundamental criteria for assessing a potential acquisition target. Time pressure imposed by (the advisors of) the sell-side party is no longer a disruptive factor for you, when offered a company for acquisition. A person who knows what he or she wants can quickly decide and act upon the market as soon as the opportunity arises. By submitting a well-defined acquisition strategy to the stakeholders (shareholders, management and employees) in a timely manner, you create both feedback and support for the acquisition.
