Sell-Side M&A deal vs Buy-Side M&A deal, what do bankers really do? (Part-2)

This week we will look at Buy-side M&A. In a buy-side deal, the bank will go out and search for potential companies for the client to acquire and negotiate the deal to obtain the lowest price possible. There are four main steps.  The first will be to do a lot of research on a very large number of potential acquisition targets based on what the client has represented that they are looking for.  After sharing the initial list with the client, you will cut the list down based on their feedback and decide which targets to approach about being purchased. After having meetings with each of them, you decide which to pursue further based on how open they are to the idea of an acquisition.  The third step is to do further due diligence on each of the targets which are open to acquisition while further narrowing down the list and coming up with an offer price.  Finally, you work with the client to select the final target and work to negotiate and structure the deal and announce the transaction.
