We identify attractive investment opportunities – for both platform acquisitions and add-on acquisitions. We combine industry knowledge with active market dialogue to understand the industrial rationale – and identify the synergies that genuinely create value.
We develop a clear investment case based on market drivers and trends, historical performance and future prospects, the identification of relevant target companies, and the industrial rationale and value creation potential.
Through our network within Technology and Construction & Infrastructure, we identify relevant companies, establish dialogue with owners and management teams, and communicate a clear industrial strategy. The result is qualified processes – not merely “lists of target companies”.
We assess pricing and structure, prepare indicative offers, establish letters of intent (LOIs) and lead the dialogue towards exclusivity.
We project-manage the due diligence process and coordinate advisers to ensure the right basis for decision-making, maintain momentum and minimise execution risk.
Stratema works closely with lawyers and contributes creative solutions to potential points of dispute and other challenging negotiation matters, as well as commercial clarifications and transaction structuring.
