Merger and Acquisition Services

I specialise in helping businesses within the recruitment, staffing and labour hire sector recognise and optimise their market value. I achieve this by providing tailored services that will effectively position my clients to ask for the best price when it comes time to sell.

Business owners spend years and years building their companies to their current position. With my help, your business will become ready for a fruitful M&A that serves the needs of those on both sides of the transaction.

Don’t let those years of hard work go to waste. Get in touch on 0417 743 525.

Bespoke M&A Services

When working with 888X, you can have the peace of mind that I won’t cut any corners in preparing your business for a successful M&A. My process is thorough, customised for each individual client, and takes as long as needed.

Maximising the value of your business for sale is not something that happens overnight. My work in this field requires a significant lead time of at least 12 months to implement the right systems and processes for your business to become an attractive sales prospect.

The sooner we can begin work, the better.

M&A Case-Studies

Jobwire Australia Group (JWAG) operates in the blue-collar labour hire sector and has ambitions to grow to be a large player in this sector. The Executive and Management team have a proven track record of delivering superior services and strong organic growth.

888X was engaged by the Board to assist the business in its growth objectives by sourcing suitable business for acquisition. 888X has a deep network and understanding of the labour hire sector and undertakes a structured process to identify potential acquisition opportunities for its clients.

888X has provided JWAG with opportunities which has led to transactions being completed and JWAG continuing its strong growth.

THE BOARD HAS ENGAGED 888X TO PROVIDE BUY SIDE M&A ADVISORY SERVICES AS PART OF THEIR IN-ORGANIC GROWTH STRATEGY.

888X worked with the Management Team to assist them through a structured purchase process to acquire the business.

888X managed the purchase process from end to end ensuring that the business was valued and set up in a way that enabled the Management Team to continue focussing on operations whilst the sale was negotiated and managed on their behalf.

The purchase was successfully completed within 4 months and the business has been operating ahead of benchmark best practice post purchase. In addition the business year on year growth has out-paced the broader market.

THE HIGH PERFORMING MANAGEMENT TEAM UNDERSTOOD THE BUSINESS AND MARKET AND PURCHASED THE BUSINESS.

The shareholder of this long standing and successful recruitment and staffing firm was wanting to retire and engaged 888X to sell the business.

888X initially undertook a sale readiness review ensuring that the business was in the optimise state to achieve the optimal value for the shareholders. Once this process was complete, 888X prepared the data room to support due diligence. To take the business to sale, 888X then prepared a comprehensive information memorandum documenting the business to enable potential purchases to submit indicative bids prior to due diligence and terms sheets.

888X managed the entire sale process from end to end culminating in a sale contract for settlement.

THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS HAD BEEN OPERATING THE BUSINESS FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS AND INTENDED TO RETIRE POST SALE.
