M&A Strategy Services

Drive growth and improve your competitive edge

The mergers and acquisitions strategy requires precision and step-by-step execution – there is only one opportunity for perfect implementation. Our experts work closely with company leaders to define strategic objectives and how to align M&A with the corporate strategy to drive profitable growth and enhance competitiveness.

The key to success lies in defining the "where" and the "how" – that is, which markets the company wants to compete in and how it can achieve its goals.

This enables the development of an effective strategic direction and the identification of ideal acquisition targets.

Deloitte provides advisory services throughout the entire M&A lifecycle, from the early stages to integration, complemented by financial, IT, and tax expertise. This allows our clients to rely on comprehensive, well-founded information when shaping their M&A strategy.

To give your M&A strategy clear guidance, we’ll help refine your corporate strategy, identify current and future growth opportunities, evaluate competitive market positioning and seek opportunities for portfolio-improvement.

First, we’ll define areas that require inorganic growth to leverage market opportunities by analysing competitor actions and customer demands. Then, we’ll determine if there are opportunities for horizontal and vertical integration or diversification that can improve competitive advantage.

We’ll help identify characteristics of a model target by identifying capabilities within the organisation that need to be enhanced, as well as those the company cannot afford to have undermined through an acquisition.

We’ll evaluate the alignment of strategic rationale to the corporate strategy and growth needs by identifying deal drivers and synergies that indicate if the acquisition is a sound investment.
