Buy-side Investment Banking – Why we’re hired

The Board recognizes the following:

1. The need for a process that finds and successfully integrates targets.
2. Deals are being lost to competitors.
3. Management bandwidth is stretched and can’t handle Corporate Development duties.
4. Sellers don’t view the acquirer as an attractive option.
5. Value creation has not been realized.
6. Poor post-merger integration plan.
7. Human capital and cultural fit were not thought through.
