M&A

Polestar has decades of experience advising clients across a broad range of transaction types, ranging from MBOs to refinancing options to full disposals. We see our role as understanding first and advising second as, in our experience, understanding the business fully – strengths and weaknesses included – is the key to unlocking its true value.

Acquiring another company is a time-consuming and complex process which can either create or destroy value for you.

We are able to free up a significant amount of your time and lead the project by undertaking the following

  • Understand your objectives and develop a rationale to plan for M&A
  • Identify the target and approach
  • Identify risk areas and price drivers
  • Negotiate the deal
  • Raise external finance
  • Manage and drive the project to completion

Our hands-on and proactive approach keeps you informed and in control whilst enabling you to remain focused on running your company.
