Mergers & Acquisitions
LSP Digital supports companies in the digital transformation of their core business, their expansion and the diversification of their portfolio. The purchase of companies and company shares play an important role in this. We support our customers in all the steps of the strategy and purchase process.
Worldwide the deal volume of M&A transactions amounted to auf more than 2.9 trillion euros. With a 16 % growth rate from 2016 to 2017 it’s growing faster than the global GDP.
Wie believe that the key drivers for further growth of the M&A volumes are intact in the medium term: the digital transformation demands for companies will increase. As will revenue and profit expectations. Purposeful company purchases or investments will still remain the tested method to master these challenges.
Through close cooperation with our sister company Statista and long-standing experience as investors and entrepreneurs we offer our clients data-driven and solid recommendations and analyses of M&A topics alongside the whole transaction process
Range of service:
We offer a broad range of project experience and optimize the project success through established partner networks, continuous M&A, data and finance analyses, as well as extensive industry knowledge and the close cooperation with Statista.
LSP offers customers corporate venturing as a service and accompanies investment initiatives from goal definition to integration, so as to achieve the strategic goals of the customer in the best possible way.
Strategy and goal definition:
A step that is often neglected during the transaction process is the foregoing harmonizing and definition of strategic goals in inorganic steps. LSP supports its customers during the concrete goal definition, which is specifically tailored to fit the strategic and financial vision of the customer.
Market analysis:
To increase the chance of success, a clear understanding of the target market is essential. For this reason LSP offers its customers solid and extensive market analyses of national and international markets, the leading trends, as well as analyses of developments in regulatory framework requirements. Our equipment includes, along with the classic revenue and structure analysis such as whitespot analysis, shifting of margin pools, benchmarking leading providers etc.
Long- and shortlist targets:
Search criteria are defined and prioritized in close cooperation with the customer, as the basis for evaluating potential participation candidates. Within a target scan LSP, helped by the Statista research department, creates a „longlist“ of potential targets which can be compressed to a „shortlist“ based on strategic and commercial criteria.
Assessment and deal structure:
LSP creates business plans and company analyses as a base for target evaluation.
Due siligence and negotiations:
LSP supports its customers in strategic and commercial due dilligence, coordination of other service providers is also possible, for example in terms of legal and financial due diligence. Afterwards we develop term sheets, accompany the transfer to contracts and the negotiations.
Management and integration:
After deal closing, management is just as much an essential factor for a enduringly successful transaction as its thorough preparation We therefore support our customers also after the contract conclusion in management and also during integration, if desired.
