Strategic growth: acquiring a business
Are you considering acquiring a company but uncertain about which company to acquire? Or do you have your sights set on a particular business?
Rembrandt Mergers & Acquisitions, as an experienced mergers and acquisitions advisor, offers a unique and distinctive approach that adds value to all phases of the acquisition process. We provide guidance to parties positioned on the buy-side of the market, advising them on various options for acquiring a company.
Your partner for a successful acquisition process
Throughout each acquisition process, we work closely with the company’s advisors, including accountants, tax specialists, due diligence experts and M&A lawyers. We oversee the process, monitor progress and keep costs under control. Our focus is on achieving both immediate objectives and strategic goals for the longer term.
The acquisitions process
The acquisition process consists of three phases: preparation, transaction, and completion. During each phase, we keep a watchful eye on your goals and monitor your progress.
1. Preparation phase
In most processes, we start by creating a profile that includes the most important criteria, value-determining elements, and strategic goals that a potential acquisition should deliver. For an acquisition to be successful, it is paramount that the information received and knowledge gained during the process are continually measured against these criteria.
Should there not be a potential candidate under consideration, we then use our databases and (inter)national network to draw up a list of candidates that best suit your company profile. Together, we create a shortlist of the most suitable candidates, which we approach tentatively to investigate whether they are open to an introduction.
2. Transaction phase
The transaction phase mainly focuses on deeper financial analyses, cultural and commercial aspects, issuing of an offer, negotiating, and documenting the agreed terms in a Letter of Intent (LOI).
3. Completion phase
The completion phase consists of, amongst other things, due diligence, drafting a business plan, and arranging financing and/or venture capital as necessary. As a final step, the transaction documentation is drawn up and signed.

With Smart Exit, investors get the opportunity to make smart investments in third-party enterprises. In this arrangement, all parties, both buyers and sellers, benefit from the assurance of pre-determined returns and conditions.
