M&A

Green Square provides corporate finance advice to the shareholders of independent media and marketing communications businesses. We typically advise businesses with enterprise values ranging from £10m to £50m. Specifically, our M&A focus is on the following transaction scenarios:

  • Trade sales
  • Private equity backed disposals
  • Management buy-outs

We act predominantly for vendors so our ability to give independent advice is never compromised. Our remuneration structure is designed such that we are fully motivated to drive the most rewarding deal for shareholders.

We have strong M&A experience, having advised on numerous successful transactions, which gives us a rounded understanding of what makes a business an attractive investment opportunity and how best to structure and negotiate the optimal transaction.

Our exclusive focus on the media and marketing communications sector means we have an excellent knowledge of the global buyer landscape, both from previous transactions and from our ongoing research and networking.

Ascension Day

This is a one-day workshop which helps shareholders and management identify key actions to improve the performance and value of their business. It is a very effective way to formulate a plan to drive the next stage of a company’s development and maximise value.

Following a desktop review of relevant information supplied in advance, the workshop consists a presentation of Green Square’s assessment, supplemented by discussions with management along the lines of the value drivers acquirers look for in a business and understanding personal aspirations. The output of the day is an agreed set of actions to enhance growth and business value.

Consultancy

Business leaders need confidential guidance, support and focused inspiration. Someone to brainstorm and plan with, but also be challenged by. A place where they can get independent and experienced input to some of the tough decisions and strategies that determine their company’s future. Without someone who ‘gets it’, an owner can miss opportunities or simply waste time going round in circles.

We are proud to have a cadre of highly experienced and talented individuals, our “Trusted Counsellors”, who directly provide these services to agency leaders and their teams. This can be either on an ad-hoc or ongoing basis as every situation is different.
