Buyside Advisory
In its role as a buyside financial advisor, FSI partners with management assisting companies in realizing additional growth and value through acquisitions. This process requires industry and company knowledge as well as a comprehensive understanding of the capital markets. FSI has the experience, strength and expertise needed to assist clients in identifying, structuring, negotiating and closing acquisitions. As with its sellside advisory services, FSI plays an integral role in all steps of the process.
Buyside services offered by FSI include strategic alternative analysis, due diligence, target identification, negotiation and transaction execution. During the strategic alternatives phase, FSI works closely with management to properly align the goals of a potential transaction and to develop a profile of the optimal acquisition candidate. The due diligence process serves as an information gathering phase whereby FSI gathers confidential company and industry information. Based upon this information and FSI’s knowledge of the capital markets, proper targets are identified and approached. In addition, FSI assesses potential synergies and assists with the valuation of the targets. FSI’s corporate finance professionals also assist with negotiating key terms and conditions of a buyside transaction and can arrange financing to fund the transaction.
