M&A Support

• Global Intercon has been in the mergers & acquisitions (M&A) market over a decade and provides a full range of M&A and transaction support services. We have end-to-end capabilities, from initial market research and screening, to value acceleration and synergy realization after the acquisition. Our research-driven methodology enables us to conduct thorough commercial due-diligence in real time. We tailor each project to specific client needs.
• The virtuous cycle for M&A begins by building a strong M&A capability that forms the foundation for the success of the model's 5 key steps:
  • Corporate Acquisition Strategy: Develop a clearly articulated strategy and an M&A plan that reinforces that strategy. With our more than 10+ years of experience helping companies develop time-tested strategies, we understand the types of deals that create value and those that don't.
  • Deal Thesis: Invest with a thesis. Successful deals are guided by a meaningful deal thesis that is tied to a firm's growth strategy and that spells out how the deal will add value both to the target and acquiring company.
  • Capability Analysis and Strategic Due Diligence: Ask and answer the big questions. The best acquirers investigate targets with a nose for what's really important, identifying the key sources of ongoing value and sniffing out any "perfumed pigs" buffed up for sale. A frequent acquirer knows exactly where it can add value and is therefore able to set its own price—and to walk away if the price isn't right.
  • Merger Integration Planning: Integrate where it matters. No two integrations are the same, and companies must carefully consider aspects from culture in order to realize the full value of the deal.
  • Merger Integration Execution: Nail the short list of critical actions. Merging two companies requires rigorous follow-through on a long list of integration tasks, large and small. Doing both is hard. Part of the answer lies in a few, powerful guiding principles: tailor the integration thesis to the deal thesis; integrate where it matters; and act with deliberate speed.
