Buy Side Advisory
Highly experienced buy-side advisors with a number of strategic acquisition projects completed for private equity houses, owner managed businesses and private individuals.
Since 2009, we have identified many attractive acquisition opportunities for our clients through our network of contacts and extensive research capabilities.
We are experienced in advising our clients throughout the acquisition process from initiating discussions with prospective vendors, to recommending the most effective way to value the target and structure the transaction, drafting Heads of Agreement and leading the transaction through to successful completion.
Many of our clients have completed a series of acquisitions with CKS Finance, recognising the high quality of service delivered. A lot of our current clients successfully pursue buy and build strategies and we have been working with them for a number of years.
