Mergers and Acquisitions or “M&A” typically involves larger companies and more complex transactions. M&A deals typically involve companies with more than $1 million (usually $2.5 to about $100 million) in earnings and often require non-conventional financing and involved methods to structure the transaction.
The buyers in M&A deals are often “strategic buyers”; large industry players “rolling up” companies in the industry or financial firms such as private equity and hedge funds, seeking exposure to the industry to diversify or complement their investment portfolios. At Manera Capital, we have extensive private equity and other large financial buyer contacts.
