Frequently asked questions
What does a hospitality and restaurant M&A adviser do?
They guide the sale or purchase of companies, groups and brands in the sector from valuation to closing: preparing the documentation, identifying and qualifying buyers or targets, negotiating and structuring the deal, and coordinating legal, tax and financial advisers.
Do you advise sellers or buyers?
Both, on different transactions: we work on the sell side and the buy side, on full or partial sales, partner entries, acquisitions for inorganic growth, group integrations and family business successions.
What is an information memorandum?
It is the document that presents the company to potential buyers or investors: business model, brands, locations, team, financial information and growth potential. We prepare it together with the rest of the investor documentation. We go through its sections in the information memorandum: what it includes.
