WillBe Group supports investors and funds with their due diligence and Post-Merger Integration (PMI) processes.

Laying down the fundamentals for an external growth operation

We bring a fresh new point of view on the transaction so profitable growth and transformation opportunities can be identified, the upcoming integration can be properly prepared, and new synergies can emerge.

 

Contexts of intervention

  • Investment strategy: we analyse the shareholding portfolio, identify and assess potential targets.
  • Operational due diligence: we evaluate the main sources of synergies and design an integration strategy.
  • Post-Merger Integration (PMI) support: we work out an implementation plan, drive change and manage the transition.

What sets us apart

  • Our operational advice, thanks to our extensive experience in consulting, completed by the know-how of our savvy external experts (investment bankers, lawyers and advisors), we give the investor precious new insights into the target company.
  • Our recognised sector expertise (services and computer science, media/telecoms & high tech, financial services, food industry)
  • Our ability to intervene on all transformation issues, including in reconfiguration and reversal contexts.

    An American investment fund specialized in technological assets is considering taking a stake in a French software company.

    A investment bank is mandated and the target is evaluated at €500M. The financial dimension of the operation is well understood but the strategic vision and the target company’s competitive strength on its markets need to be better analyzed.

    The WillBe Group team is very familiar with the software industry and has a good knowledge of due diligence.

    The team produces in little time a complementary assessment with:

    • Market trends
    • Relevance of positioning
    • Growth potential
    • Comprehensiveness of the offer
    • Quality of technical solutions
    • Growth policy
  • Identifying the possible synergies of a merger

    A merger is announced between two major players in the European media landscape.

    A proper understanding of the technical dimension of the merger is key for the markets.

    The WillBe Group team knows both players well. Its know-how is required to identify and evaluate the potential synergies and elaborate possible scenarios.

    The mission is successful thanks to:

    • WillBe Group’s experience in Post Merger Integrations
    • Its good assessment of how technical options can disrupt a clients base
    • Its perfect mastery of all cost rationalization factors and the evolution of the offers.
