Strucom together with its affiliate partners and investment banking firms specializing in  strategic transactions provides you with a strategic approach to acquire a company in the US or overseas. Our partnership provides M&A advisory services to middle market clients by acting as their corporate development staff to complete specific transactions, usually acquisitions. Strucom together with its strategic partners also manages buyouts for management teams or outside industry executives. This includes raising equity and debt financing.

Approach

In a real sense, acquiring, merging, partnering, and venturing with third parties can begin with what looks like straightforward juggling of strategic plans, priorities, people, and finance, but end in disaster. The majority of acquisitions are not truly successful within the target time frame especially when it involves international transactions. When you decide to go the M&A route, remember to seek advice often and always. Down the M&A route it is critical to maximize value, pick the most synergistic consolidations, and prepare a post-merger integration plan. Technologies, accounting systems, operations, human resources, and other issues all need to be integrated - and this is where a lot of merged companies fail. A successful post merger-integration plan is essential for the long term of any combined company.

The whole point of the international market entry process we have developed is to be systematic. It is a process, which reduces the probability of error, and therefore increases the probability of success. It’s almost like a sporting event. The team that makes the fewest mistakes wins. The same is true in entering foreign markets. The company that makes the fewest mistakes is the most successful.

In this section we present a snapshot of the process. It represents a composite picture based on years of experience with numerous companies in numerous countries. But don’t be daunted by it. Because it is a composite, not all will be relevant to you. Pick and choose what you need. But keep in mind the total process as context. Note that some components, though important, can be very quickly accomplished.

If you want to talk about the process and where you fit in, give us a call. We will be happy to help you think through the issues with no obligation whatsoever.

Strucom has developed a systematic approach to perform an acquisition. The Acquisition strategy includes: planning, search and purchase.
