Ashfords Advisory
Mergers and Acquisition
Transaction outcomes depend on timing, structure and the clarity behind every decision.
Business acquisitions, equity movements, mergers and capital events require more than execution. Each one affects ownership, performance and strategic direction. The process must account for value, pressure and pace without compromising on control.
Preparation sits at the centre. Whether acquiring, divesting or raising capital, decisions hold more weight when the groundwork is complete. Stakeholders act faster when risk is visible, data is tested, and steps are sequenced without friction.
With the right framework, outcomes become intentional. Value can be realised, integration can be managed, and funding can support growth rather than delay it.

Ashfords Advisory — Mergers and Aquisitions FAQs
Common Questions, Answered
What does the process involve for both buyers and sellers?
Transaction work progresses in phases—assessment, due diligence, negotiation and execution. The structure is built to reflect timing, stakeholder priorities and the impact of change across the business.
Why is integration planning critical after the deal closes?
Transactions change more than ownership. Operations, teams and systems must align to protect performance and maintain momentum after the deal is done.
How should capital be raised to support a transaction?
Structure depends on what the business is trying to achieve. Debt, equity or a combination may apply—but the model must support the future, not just close the deal.
Transaction strategy gains momentum when planning is already in motion.
Clear planning removes friction when activity intensifies. M&A moves cleaner when capital, forecasting and reporting are already structured for external scrutiny.
