Thinkinglinking, M&A With Strategy First

No one should question that success in M& A is about making the optimal deal. It isn't just a dream – the perfect partner does exist. Some advisers don't believe in the optimal deal, even though it exists by definition. Other advisers strive for it through a combination of finance and negotiation. Sounds good, but the truth is that the optimal transaction requires a combination of those two skills as well as three others: strategy, arbitrage and methodology. We like to call them The 'Three Graces'​. Also, we believe in a fully-integrated approach to M& A where everything we do is logically connected to achieve the optimal transaction. In short, we believe that M& A should be done in two stages: thinking, then linking, hence the name of our firm. We normally deliver these through our 12-step methodology which varies depending on whether our client is acquiring or selling. - Evaluation- Strategy- Arbitrage check- Partner scoring model- Partner research- Client attractiveness- Approach partners- Strategic fitness- Economic negotiation- LOI drafting- Post-LOI- Rescue, as neededThinkingLinking has some specialised departments such as BioLinking (focused on life sciences) and InLinking (focused on cosmetics, food and life sciences ingredients).
