Maraz expert advisors for the sale and purchase of your company
At Maraz Corporate Finance, we are specialists in advising and managing M&A transactions for middle market companies, providing a comprehensive advisory service in all phases of the process, whether in the purchase or sale of companies. Our approach focuses on maximizing and optimizing the value of each transaction for our clients, with extensive experience in valuation of companies and transactions.
What does the advice on the sale and purchase of companies and M&A consist of?
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are strategic processes that involve the purchase, sale and combination of different companies with the objective of accelerating growth, reducing competition or significantly changing an organization’s position in the market. These transactions are essential for companies seeking to optimize their size and improve their competitiveness through corporate strategy.
M&A advisory services we offer in Maraz
At Maraz, we advise companies, owners and investors on acquisitions and divestitures, designing tailor-made strategies to maximize value and minimize risks.
Sale of companies (sell-side)
Our sell-side approach focuses on a thorough understanding of our clients’ business. Through meticulous analysis, we identify the key variables that will increase the value of the company, establishing a reasonable and attractive valuation range. We strive to find the ideal acquirer, ensuring that each transaction is not only successful, but also reflects the true potential and value of your company.
Partial sale
The Partial Sale of a company involves the transfer of part of the ownership of the company to a third party, without losing total control over the company. This type of transaction is ideal for owners seeking:
Partner exits: Facilitate the exit of one or more partners from the business, either due to strategic differences, personal needs or obtaining liquidity.
Financing growth: Obtain financial resources to promote expansion, innovation or consolidation of the business, hand in hand with a strategic partner.
Total sale
The Total Sale of a company involves the transfer of control of the company to a new owner. This process is a strategic solution for owners seeking a complete transition, whether due to a lack of succession, a change in professional direction, or the maximization of business value at the optimal moment. The transaction can be carried out with:
Industry player: The company is sold to another company within the same sector. This option is often preferred by those seeking a buyer who understands the value and potential synergies of the acquisition, such as access to new markets, technologies, or operational capabilities.
Financial investor: The sale is made to a financial investor, such as private equity funds, family offices, or search funds, among others. These buyers seek to invest in companies with growth or restructuring potential, providing capital and, at times, expert management to increase the company’s value ahead of a future sale or IPO.
Buy-side (buy-side)
In a buyout process, the differentiating factor is to understand the reasons for the transaction and how the synergies from the acquisition will generate greater value for the acquiring company’s shareholders.
Corporates
We advise companies on their inorganic growth strategy through acquisitions. This approach is aimed at corporations seeking to expand, enter new markets or acquire specific technologies and competencies. Our role is to identify acquisition opportunities that align with the company’s strategic objectives, conduct or review due diligence and negotiate the terms of the acquisition to ensure a successful integration.
Financial investors
We provide specialized advice to Private Equity, Family Offices, Venture Capital and Other Financial Investors in the acquisition of companies. Our approach focuses on identifying investment opportunities that offer significant growth potential, carrying out quantitative and qualitative analysis of the business, together with a thorough and accurate valuation. In turn, we assist in structuring, financing and negotiating the transaction in order to maximize the return on investment.
