Company acquisition advice and transaction support
A strategic business acquisition is one of the most significant decisions a company can make. It involves more than just acquiring assets or integrating new employees; it is about the deliberate expansion of the business portfolio and building long-term competitive advantages.
Professional advisory services play a crucial role in business acquisitions. We support the entire process, from identifying potential target companies to successful post-acquisition integration.
Why specialized advice is crucial for a successful company acquisition
Company acquisitions are complex processes that involve a variety of legal, financial and strategic aspects and can tie up considerable human resources. Professional company acquisition advice helps to overcome these challenges in a targeted manner and to handle transactions efficiently. Potential target companies are often identified based on market opportunities, bidding processes or sales mandates. However, such offers rarely correspond to the best strategic choice for the buyer. However, such offers rarely correspond to the best strategic choice for the buyer. That’s why we rely on a tailored proprietary deal sourcing approach that is strictly aligned with our clients’ strategic objectives.
The buyer is at the centre of our company acquisition advice. The client remains in charge throughout the entire process, which is rarely the case with opportunistically driven transactions. We often hear from new clients that previous acquisition processes have been frustrating and unsuccessful, despite the considerable amount of time involved.
As experienced MA advisors, we guide the business acquisition process from start to successful closing, minimizing risks and ensuring an efficient and successful transaction in the best interest of the buyer. Our very good success rates confirm the effectiveness of our approach.

Advantages
There are many advantages to relying on experienced MA advice when completing a company acquisition:
Strategic transaction consulting
Based on an in-depth analysis of the market situation, we work with you to develop a long-term perspective for sustainable, inorganic growth. This should by no means compete with, but rather complement the organic development of the company. With our trained view from the outside and our broad knowledge of the industry, we regularly succeed in bringing less obvious inorganic growth areas into the discussion, which may offer highly attractive opportunities.
Target approach
For us, addressing the potential targets, as part of the target screening, is an absolutely crucial process milestone that determines the success or failure of the project. In many cases, we approach highly attractive target companies that have not necessarily considered the possibility of a sale. This makes a highly appreciative, empathetic and personalised approach to the owners all the more essential. We have a proven track record of success in this area and often strike the right chord that brings the desired target companies to the negotiating table in the first place. As an ‘external party’, we can conduct the initial approach anonymously. As a buyer, you only come into play when you think this is right.
Risk management
Risks that are identified too late can regularly jeopardize the success of a transaction. By carrying out all relevant aspects of due diligence during the purchase process, these can usually be identified. In processes managed by us, the disclosure of risks is already addressed before the actual due diligence. Early clarity creates trust and often allows us to minimize or eliminate these risks in the interests of the buyer.
Process competence
We have mastered the strategic buy-side M+A process like no other M+A consultancy, as we have specialised in this niche of the M+A market for more than 10 years. Complex, strategically motivated company acquisitions are therefore our daily business. The exact structure of our support during the acquisition process depends on how intensively you have implemented the topic of MA in your company organisation. As a rule, we coordinate all departments involved in the transaction. From the purchase decision to due diligence and deal closing, nothing is left to chance. As our client, you always remain in full control of the progress.
Mediation in the M+A negotiation process
The emotional side of M+A projects is often underestimated at the beginning. Buyers and sellers often have individual emotions, perspectives and egos that can complicate the negotiation process. In addition, unexpected results or details in the procedure can lead to discussions that need to be professionally moderated. Emporion acts as a neutral intermediary in the MA negotiation process and takes over the complete coordination of all participants and auditors in the data room.
