Mergers and Acquistions

Masterkey provides both buy-side and sell-side advisory services as part of its M&A advisory offering.

Target/Acquirer short-listing and collateral preparation

Masterkey helps the client freeze the acquisition criteria, investment parameters, complete market analysis and target identification. We also assist in meeting the target companies and help the client prioritize among the targets to create a shortlist in the case of a buy-side. Based on the client's business profile and Masterkey's knowledge of the market, we prepare a complete packet of information which enables the transaction to be presented in front of potential acquirers and partners in a structured way.

Masterkey uses its network of relationships with companies, Private Equity funds and other intermediaries extensively in this phase to identify the right targets or potential acquirers.

Commercial term sheet

Masterkey creates valuation and structuring models for the short listed companies/ acquirers, prepares the term sheet, drives deal negotiations with targets and ensures that the client enters into a term sheet with the target / acquirer company which outlines all the commercial terms of the transaction.

Masterkey leverages its experience in closing over 95 transactions as well as its ability to structure various options for its clients, to create the most expedient transaction for entrepreneurs and founders.

Due diligence and transaction closure

Masterkey helps the client with preliminary business due diligence on the target, coordinates the overall due diligence process, and assists in the negotiation of the final definitive agreements with the target company of the client. We drive this process to reach closure on the transaction.
