Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Services

Navigating a merger or acquisition without full confidence in the valuation or due diligence process can be risky. Our M&A service ensures your transactions are grounded in accurate data and strategic planning for long-term success.

Mergers and acquisitions are among the most complex and high-stakes decisions a business can make.

In fact, research shows that up to 70% of M&A transactions fail to deliver the expected value, often due to inadequate planning, overvaluation, or missed risks. Whether you’re acquiring, merging, or selling, ensuring accuracy and thoroughness is essential to protect your business and its future.

At Nordens, our M&A service provides independent valuations, rigorous due diligence, and strategic advice to ensure your transaction is built on solid foundations. From the initial negotiation to the final handover, we guide you through every stage with clarity and confidence.

How we help

Our M&A service is designed to minimise risks, maximise value, and ensure that every stage of your transaction is based on informed decisions. A successful merger or acquisition requires more than just identifying potential targets or buyers. It involves accurate valuations, strategic planning, and navigating complex negotiations. Our M&A service offers a full spectrum of support to ensure your transaction is successful and value-enhancing.

Our M&A services

Exit Strategy

Whether selling your business or merging, having a clear exit strategy is essential. We provide expert advice on how to time your exit, maximise valuation, and structure the deal for the best possible outcome.

Independent Valuation

Valuing a business accurately is critical in M&A deals. Overpaying for an acquisition or undervaluing your own business can lead to significant losses. We provide independent valuations based on comprehensive financial analysis, industry trends, and market conditions, ensuring you know the true worth of the deal.

Tax Due Diligence

When buying or selling a business, it’s crucial to understand the tax implications. Our Tax Due Diligence service helps you identify any historical tax risks, assess potential tax opportunities, and evaluate the overall impact on the transaction.

We ensure your tax position is fully understood, guiding you through negotiations and advising on tax-related warranties and representations within the sale agreement. With our expert insights, you can make informed decisions, minimise risks, and confidently move forward with your transaction.

Deal Structuring

Structuring the deal correctly can have a huge impact on the outcome. We help you negotiate and structure deals in a way that aligns with your strategic goals, ensures you pay the right amount of tax, and protects your interests in the long term.

Worried about the accuracy of business valuations or concerned about the underlying targets financials? Not sure if the deal proposition has hidden risks? M&A transactions are fraught with complexity and risk, but with the right guidance, they can be transformative for your business. Our M&A service helps you every step of the way, ensuring your transactions are built on accurate valuations, thorough due diligence, and sound strategic planning. Let us guide your next move with confidence.
