tech M&A: factors to consider when receiving shares as consideration
What if a private or non-listed tech company offers to acquire your company? And instead of cash, they fully or partially offer shares as consideration?
buying or selling a business is a big deal for most people
If you are selling, it’s is a one-time opportunity to monetise all the blood, sweat and tears you’ve invested in your business over the years. If your buying, an acquisition can step your business up to the next level.
m&a experts in the tech space
We work with our tech company clients throughout their life-cycle to maximise value on exit. We also help companies with a strategy of growth by acquisition. We advise on initial deal strategy and on the negotiation of letters of intent. Then once a deal has been agreed in principle, we do a lot of the heavy lifting around the negotiation of sale and purchase agreements, running due diligence and disclosure, and getting ducks in a row for completion.
