Business case
Our client, a global HR provider, sought to acquire a German company specialised in temporary recruitment for the healthcare and social services segment.
Our work highlighted the key risk areas surrounding the acquisition, and our synergy assessment allowed our client to understand how the acquired company could be integrated in its existing portfolio structure. Further, we identified potential profitability improvements and provided an overview of the target’s brand awareness. Being flexible and in continuous communication with the target’s management and the management of the portfolio companies was critical to provide tailor-made advice to our client, allowing them to become the preferred buyer.
We were engaged to conduct red flag due diligence to highlight any potential issues with the proposed acquisition. We also undertook a preliminary synergy assessment and compared profitability between the target company and our client’s existing portfolio companies.
