Benefits of a Synergy Assessment

 

  • Upfront Buy-In: Plan synergies and gain buy-in upfront for rapid execution post-deal close.
 
  • Leave No Stone Unturned: Our experience in identifying and delivering synergies helps ensure your plan maximizes value while being achievable.
 
  • Gain an External Perspective: Provide an independent external perspective from M&A experts; a lender report can support your deal thesis in a tough credit market.
 
  • Deep Expertise: Leverage the expertise of M&A experts. Collectively, our team has worked on hundreds of acquisitions.
 
  • Execution Support: Impact Point supports the execution of the synergies so that management can concentrate on delivering.

How IPC Works with Your Teams

  • Establishing a Baseline: We hold a synergy assessment to evaluate potential opportunities, establish a baseline, and review management’s assumptions through strategy sessions with Buyer Management.
  • Identifying Synergy Opportunities: We conduct interviews and a data review with Buyer executives to help pinpoint synergies. We also build a baseline P&L model with estimated synergy ranges by function and P&L line item.
  • Roadmap at Workstream Level: Our report outlines synergy ranges, assumptions, and costs and provides a workstream-level roadmap with timing, targets, and risk mitigation suitable for planning or lender assessment.
