How we work with acquisitions
Volati manages acquisition processes with a focus on transparency, speed and quality. Our companies and relevant teams are involved from an early stage and contribute to evaluation, due diligence and integration.
The approach is pragmatic and largely handled internally, focusing on material issues and clear decision-making. Many acquisitions evolve over time through relationships with entrepreneurs, companies and advisors. Add-on acquisitions are often initiated within existing platforms, where there are already strong relationships and an in-depth knowledge of the market.
Every acquisition is unique. Structure, timeline and execution are therefore adapted to the company and its owners, and transactions can be carried out both with or without advisors.
The process
-
Evaluation
Each opportunity is carefully analysed based on long-term fit and quality. Transactions are only pursued where there is a clear industrial and strategic rationale, and the threshold for proceeding is deliberately high.
-
Due diligence
During this stage, the focus is on understanding the company’s key value drivers, risks and underlying conditions. This work is conducted primarily internally, focusing on the issues most critical to decision-making, valuation, agreements and continued development.
-
Negotiation
Terms are developed through a clear and structured process. The ambition is to combine clarity and balance with momentum towards completion.
-
Integration
Throughout the process, we maintain a dialogue with management to prepare for continued development, ensure continuity and lay the groundwork for a smooth transition.
