Acquisition advice for private equity house

BTG Advisory was asked to advise a private equity house on a potential acquisition from proposed administrators via a pre-pack sale. They wanted to understand and assess what level of offer the seller would consider, together with any associated liabilities for the transfer of employee entitlements.

We were able to offer valuable insight into the decision-making process of the proposed administrators, identifying what the main issues and concerns would be and how they would go about valuing the business.

Our team’s assistance resulted in the private equity house making an offer below what they had been initially willing to pay. Ultimately, they made a considerable saving on their eventual acquisition of the target business, which was bolted onto one of their existing portfolio investments.
