Mergers and Acquisitions

An acquisition can enable you to achieve overnight growth in the scale of your existing operations or allow you to secure a foothold in a new industry or sector.

To realise the full potential of an acquisition it must be properly planned and executed from beginning to end.

Our clients identify potential acquisition targets, or companies engage Castle Square to undertake the initial search.

Our role as the corporate finance adviser provides leadership in completing a company acquisition quickly and efficiently.

We ensure that the acquisition is structed and financed properly, reducing the day to day acquisition process. This allows you to focus on developing your core business and planning for the post deal world.
