Buy Side

FOCUS seeks to develop a thorough understanding of how and why a client wants to grow its business through a buy-side deal. By integrating the strategic, operational, and financial considerations underpinning an acquisition initiative, FOCUS helps clients profile a potential target acquisition. FOCUS uses these criteria (such as size, geography, lines of business, customer base, capabilities) to develop a list of potential targets, which are then pursued to determine fit and interest.
