Mergers and Acquisitions

The BUSINESS VALUE GROUP team has participated in several Mergers and Acquisitions. Our first rule is preserve the value of the entity you bought. Only then can one BUILD on that base to the next phase of new value creation.

Integration with a difference

McKinsey studies show that 70% of M&A deals fail to meet their financial or value creation goals. Business Value Group's model addresses why: most organizations focus heavily on the deal itself while underinvesting in post-acquisition integration.

We've found that 80% of M&A effort goes into due diligence and negotiation, yet integration is where value is won or lost. We regularly are called to work with entities post M&A, that are legally owned by the same company but still operate as standalone units—essentially "dis-integrated." This poor integration results in confusion internally and externally with the customers. It drives write-offs, impairments, and enormous lost value.

Our approach prioritizes value preservation first, not just obsessing prematurely about value creation.

We support clients across the entire M&A lifecycle: due diligence, negotiation, disciplined integration, operational effectiveness, and value creation projects.

Business Value Group has deep expertise ranging in size from $100’s of Million to $10Billion +. We have helped ensure acquired entities are actually part of an org design that enables them to work together. They must FIT into and be additive to the whole.
