Business Development – Acquisitions and Disposals
ACS Partners works buy-side for corporate and private equity in deal origination. We source strategic investment opportunities through our market knowledge and corporate, private equity, accounting and law firm relationships. Our focus is on:
- Facilitating acquisitions for companies seeking equity to grow
- Potential bolt-ons for corporate clients and private equity portfolio companies
- Stakeholders looking to exit
- Stressed/distressed companies
- Special situations requiring equity, debt or mezzanine finance for restructuring
Working with equity clients we are able to effect group rationalisation, carve outs and challenging divestment.
Supporting Strategic Growth and Development
ACS Partners can evaluate “green-field” opportunities and business plans. We can mentor and guide management in the rationalisation of operations and the development of growth strategies. Our approach can also encompass possible financing through our debt and equity relationships and alliances with lenders.
We can support early stage start ups seeking pre-seed through to Series A funding, providing business and capital planning support, advice on funding options and helping to secure finance through equity raises, debt or asset finance.
Operational and Financial Assessment
ACS are able to assist management in identifying key issues, focus on areas for business operational improvement as well as identifying growth strategies to optimise shareholder value. We can work with lenders to de-risk financing and reduce financial distress. From our experience of many company restructurings and refinancing assignments we are able to guide clients to develop and implement refinancing plans to stabilise businesses in financial distress.
