Buy-side services

ARTA provides buy-side advisory services in structuring, negotiating and closing strategic acquisitions. We are intimately involved from start to finish, from concept through completion of a specific project. We learn as much as possible about our client's products, markets and industry to develop the most appropriate strategy to meet their objectives. A typical process for a buy-side client can include the following steps:

• Assessing existing business model and the market
• Determining and recommending an appropriate acquisition strategy which maximizes shareholder value
• Formulating acquisition criteria and investment parameters
• Making a market analysis for identification of an acquisition target
• Delivering a comprehensive list of acquisition candidates for the first round review and prioritization
• Approaching and contacting priority candidates (at the level of board members or owners), presenting the opportunity and assessing the target’s initial interest
• Arranging and coordinating initial communications with each candidate
• Assessing fair market value of the selected target(s)
• Assisting with the due diligence process
• Advising and assisting the negotiation of a purchase price, transaction structure and other significant issues
• Facilitating the deal closure and settlement
• Contributing to obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals
