Buyer Opt for Buyer Side
Mandates Headford Strategic Growth has seen an increase in the number of buyers taking out a buyer side mandate.
Buyers that are committed to acquiring companies as part of their strategic growth strategy are favouring for this option.
It has numerous benefits for the buyer as it allows them to speed up the acquisition process by a number of ways such as cutting out the bidding process that is used during a seller mandate deal.
Whilst buyers still need to understand that a fair multiple must be offered for any seller to accept their offer this method is proving very beneficial to most buyers that have growth deadlines.
You can also be very targeted in your approach as Headford’s Sales team can work around a specific requirement.
As an example a target client can be selected by turnover, geographical location or vertical market specialism. Our sales teams are happy to approach direct competitors in a confidential manner on your company’s behalf. This allows Headford’s M & A Sales team to be very focused in finding a buyer an exact match that won’t be put out to bids. To find out more about buyer side mandates please contact either James Hughes or Jack Lonnen Senior M & A Advisors as Headford Strategic Growth.
