In Pre-M&A phases APMC helps clients to select the most suitable candidate organisations and business arrangements. To scope out the project, APMC meets with the client to determine key business, financial, strategic and technical issues, the market context and other related aspects. APMC staff then visits, researches and analyzes each candidate company, providing a in-dept evaluation of each organisation. Throughout the process, the privacy and security of all parties is scrupulously maintained. Reported aspects include business, intellectual property, financial, technology, product, policy and staffing issues, benefits and liabilities, APMC observations and recommendations. We give our clients sound decision-making knowledge to evaluate the suitability of a particular merger or acquisition within the framework of their organisation's needs and objectives.

APMC takes due diligence seriously. We examine, not just the financials, but the strategic logic of the deal within a client's big picture. Are the apparent synergies real? Can a client realize the value of the transaction? What are the most difficult roadblocks when trying to integrate the two businesses? And following our review, investigation and analysis of one or more candidate companies, our due diligence report might suggest that it's in a client's best interest consider an alliance as a lower-risk alternative, or even to walk away from the transaction.
