BML Ventures provides M&A Technology Advisory services to both buy-side and sell-side. Our experience has benefitted organisations both divesting and acquiring assets.
Buy side
Commercial transactions are no place for caveat emptor. Our buy-side Technology Advisory services enable organisations to acquire a business with insight and confidence.
Pre-transaction readiness
- Pre-transaction, we establish the digital business objectives. Why are you buying that particular business? What value can be created? How will it be created?
- We test and validate the M&A objectives, hypothesis and principles, and assumptions that justify the transaction from a technology and digital business operational consideration
Technology and Digital Business Operations Due Diligence
- Comprehensive Digital Due Diligence exceeds “digital asset inventories”. In a data-driven world, the value of a company is inextricable from how technology enables business operations. Exposing that technology can change valuation
- We conduct due diligence on Business operations and ways of working, IT operations, systems and licensing, technology, security and IP
- This provides you with clear Risk and opportunity profiling, and change/remediation cost and effort impact estimates for valuation input
Input and validation of transaction scope and transition agreements
- We contribute definition and validation of transition agreements to ensure business continuity through the post-transaction transition at the right cost
Post-acquisition transition/integration strategy and delivery
- We advise on Technology and IT transition strategy post-transaction. This defines the entire model and technological capabilities to be integrated or established to operate the business
- We own the digital business and technology transition programme, executing the strategy throughout a defined period of transition delivery
Value Creation
- Digital business strategy and Modernisation delivery from our BML Digital division
Sell side
No one wants to either underprice a business, be hit by a reduced counter-valuation, or face a lengthy, disruptive sale.
Pre-transaction readiness
- “Pre-transaction, we establish the digital business objectives. Why are you buying that particular business? What value can be created? How will it be created?
- We test and validate the M&A objectives, hypothesis and principles assumptions that justify the transaction from a digital business technology perspective.
