M&A

Achieve consistently higher returns with a systematic and repeatable approach to mergers and acquisitions

The question isn’t whether to do deals but how to do them so that they create sustainable value. Our answer:

Use M&A as an integral part of your global growth strategy, plan for opportunities long before they arise, and build a repeatable acquisition model honed through frequent, continuous deal making. Our M&A advisory experts can help you every step of the way to:

Improve your odds of success by honing your M&A strategy and objectives, developing your M&A team and capabilities, and building a repeatable process.
Take due diligence to the next level with a fact-based, rigorously quantified assessment that helps you ward off deal fever, spot synergies others miss, and prepare for integration long before the deal is inked.
Capture maximum value from corporate acquisitions with a battle-tested approach to integration that mitigates the many risks that can undercut a deal’s anticipated synergies. Companies that turn to Bain for integration support realize 18% more value, on average, than those that don’t.
Attain the highest possible return from divestitures by preparing the asset for sale, running a low-risk carve-out program and shaping the remaining business to thrive post-transaction. We can also help you maximize the value of spin-offs and joint ventures and alliances.
