At Belmore Virtual, we can provide a complete support service when it comes to Mergers and Acquisitions. Whether you are looking to buy or sell a business, our experienced team is here to help.
We can assist you in getting the most value out of your next acquisition. We help buy-side and sell-side advisors in identifying potential target firms for both buyers and sellers. Our team can also support the creation of Information Memorandums, teaser documents and outbound marketing to potential buyers.
How it Works:
“The team at Belmore have been a great addition to our business and saved us a small fortune. All the team are very professional and always go the extra step.”
All Mergers and Acquisitions projects have a dedicated research list. Here at Belmore Virtual, our team has over 20 years of experience within the M&A industry, including research. We work with sellside brokers creating lists of potential buyers (such as competitors who will get added value from the business), which is vital for any Mergers and Acquisitions project.
As part of our initial research list, we will investigate the potential synergy and financials (including turnover, assets, and investments) to find out whether a potential buyer has the means to acquire and integrate the business.
We also examine existing business structures to ensure we are approaching the right company and the right person within that company. For instance, if your client wants to sell to a business in a conglomerate, then the acquisition must be handled by the main parent company. Our team would find out who the right person in that company is, and ensure your business is put in front of them.
Our M&A team will discover the right points of contact within the potential buyer’s business in preparation for the marketing phase. From there, we will collate all research into a clear, attractive, and easily understandable format to be presented to your client.
Social media plays a key role in any business. Here at Belmore Virtual, we use social media to generate interest in sell-side/buy-side opportunities as well as educating viewers on the M&A industry.
What’s more, we work with sell-side and buy-side advisors in creating a strong online presence, which will reassure any potential clients that they are in good hands.
Staff viewpoints that are posted on social media can also reassure the buyer or seller of a positive company culture that will attract new talent once the merge or acquisition is completed.
We support buy-side and sell-side advisors by announcing deals, sales, and project information on their social channels.
A teaser document (an anonymised document that is sent out to potential prospects) is crucial in mergers and acquisitions. It is an anonymised document used to generate enough interest to get an NDA signed in order to release further information (Information Memorandum).
It should include the unique selling points of the business whilst ensuring that its value is understood by a large audience. Ultimately, the goal of teaser documents should be to help market (not sell) the company well to potential buyers by highlighting their financials and projected growth.
We can help you with the contents of the teaser, which ought to include information pulled from the IM, such as an industry overview, business description, location, financial summary, and more. The information must remain completely anonymous, but we will ensure that the teaser documents contain the right details to create real interest.
An information memorandum (IM) should present all the information about a company in an intelligible format that presents the business in a very positive light. Ultimately, it should be written to generate interest – not to sell the business.
Potential buyers will be sent the information memorandum once they have signed the non-disclosure agreement, with the purpose of generating further interest in your client’s business.
At Belmore Virtual, we can assist in building the IM, which should always include:
Through outbound calling, we can generate interest in acquisition opportunities by contacting decision makers within the target companies, sending out the teaser documents, and having in-depth conversations regarding the acquisition opportunity – all the while ensuring your clients’ anonymity. If we are unable to generate a signed NDA, we will try to obtain as much market intelligence as to why the opportunity is not of interest.
Whatever you need, we can carry out any outbound calling campaign for M&A on your behalf, whether that includes live call handling, recording, or message taking.
Generating off market opportunities for our buyside clients can be a difficult task. We work with several buy-side advisors generating off-market opportunities using our LinkedIn Lead Generation tool. We can contact up to 100 potential target companies a week.
Live call handling, recording, and message taking will not only improve customer service, but also increase your productivity, which allows your team to focus on delivering the best customer service to your clients.
Here at Belmore Virtual, we are experts in assisting buy-side and sell-side advisors through every step of merging or acquiring. If you are looking for support on your buy-side or sell-side project, we can support you and your team.
Over the years, our experienced team has worked alongside a wide range of businesses, including local, national and international companies. Whether you’re looking to sell, merge or acquire a new business, we are here to help.
