We support clients in integrated form during the full cycle of M&A transactions, to enhance the capture of value for our clients. This work starts with definition of the organizational strategy and identification of opportunities resulting from this strategy, followed by selection of suitable assets and evaluation of the wisdom of the transaction, continuing with formatting the transaction, and culminating with the successful integration of the assets. In this process, we offer solutions like:

  • Identification of potential target assets aligned with the client’s business strategy;
  • Evaluation of the attractiveness of the deal considering the risk factors and the potential generation of value in the short, medium and long run;
  • Definition of the best format of the transaction (acquisition, merger, purchase of a commercial portfolio, among others);
  • Strategic advice regarding the processes of due diligence and assessment of risks;
  • Analysis of the financial and tax effects;
  • Study of the perspectives for growth or shrinkage of the business;
  • Analysis and calculation of the gains and synergies of the acquisition;
  • Negotiation and closing of the deal;
  • Planning for integration of the companies, including definition of the team to handle the process;
  • Advice about capturing the expected value of the transaction and monitoring of the results.
“We believe that the specific moment of the M&A transaction, although important, has limited potential to generate value. The success of a transaction is associated with its full cycle, starting with the correct choice of the target asset, in line with the company’s strategy, and the most opportune moment for the acquisition. The creation of value, in turn, is only achieved after the M&A deal is concluded, by capturing the envisioned synergies and gains.

CF Partners has experience in all these steps, based on engagement in more than 20 M&A transactions in the past 30 years.
