As organizations continue to rely on outsourcing to improve controls and reduce costs, business services is an increasingly common model. This push to deliver services faster and more effectively has created significant M&A activity.
Characterized by high recurring revenue, strong cash flow, contractual relationships, and mission-critical services, business services companies are often seen as recession-resistant. And while their primary deliverable has no physical form, both platform and add-on acquisitions in business services present opportunities to create value.
Our experience ranges across a number of business services areas including IT and tech-enabled services, facilities management, distribution, landscaping, environmental services, equipment rental, and hospitality and loyalty programs.
We work with buyers and sellers throughout the investment lifecycle. Our engagements are tailored and go beyond just identifying and reporting — we act as a partner, “owning the process” to reveal, analyze, and resolve finance issues for organizations in the business services sector.
Evaluating the financial details of a deal — from thoughtful and robust financial due diligence to financial modeling and navigation of capital markets — is key to shining light on an opportunity. Our M&A transaction services help with the granular financial details so our clients can close more deals.
The post-close transition of a business is a sensitive and critical period in the investment lifecycle. Our M&A transition services can help ensure continuity and implementation with minimal disruption, especially in the finance department.
Significant change means development but can also introduce risk. Our M&A transformation services help to develop and execute thoughtful strategies that preserve underwritten value while simultaneously de-risking change and creating enterprise value.
