M&A advisory

Transaction (M&A) Advisory

Material transactions and due diligence support

Commercial and financial preparation for buy-side, sell-side, and reorganisations — with defensible models and information packs.

Transaction advisory at Glenlyon Advisors focuses on commercial and financial preparation when you are buying, selling, or undertaking a material reorganisation.

Scope

We support management with information packs, driver-based models, scenario analysis, and diligence coordination. Our role is preparatory and analytical — legal documentation and regulated advice remain with appropriately qualified professionals.

Sell-side readiness often begins 6–12 months before a process: cleaning historical adjustments, aligning management reporting with statutory accounts, and defining the operational story investors or buyers will test.

Buy-side support

On acquisitions, we assist with commercial due diligence framing, model integration, and synergy articulation that is grounded in operational evidence rather than slide optimism.

We help translate findings into decision memos for boards — what would change the price, what would change the structure, and what risks require warranties or escrows.

Deliverables

Typical outputs include integrated models, information memoranda support schedules, QoE bridge templates, and meeting packs for management Q&A preparation.

Version control and assumption logs are standard — counterparties and advisers should see how conclusions move when inputs change.

Frequently asked questions

When should sell-side readiness begin?

Often 6–12 months before a process — to normalise adjustments, align reporting, and build a defensible model and narrative.

What do you deliver on buy-side?

Commercial diligence framing, integration modelling, synergy articulation grounded in operations, and board decision memos.

Do you run the sale process?

We prepare management and materials; process strategy and legal documentation remain with your lead advisers.

How do you manage model versions during diligence?

Version control, assumption logs, and change summaries so counterparties see why conclusions move.

What clients say

“The integrated model and Q&A packs meant we answered buyer questions once, with version control. Diligence felt prepared, not reactive.”
