Multivisory is an Equity Management company focused on Mergers and Acquisitions.
Whether BUY-SIDE or SELL-SIDE, what makes us different is our ability to truly understand Entrepreneurs and Business Owners, define and focus Targets and ensure a WIN-WIN proposition.
We provide them with objective assessments of their realistic Value Proposition, insightful Operational and Strategic Counsel to help them optimize their growth opportunities and maximize their ultimate exit value.
In todays SME market MERGERS or AMALGAMATIONS make increasingly sound sense. We seek out well balanced, complimentary Partners and help structure deals that integrate.
Market Disruption is becoming increasingly common on a Global Scale. Strategic Partnerships can help Marketers and Agencies move quickly to meet the Challenges head-on.
Whether you need to attract new customers or simply better service the ones you have, partnering with a specialist, non- competing company provides a cost efficient, time sensitive response to evolving business opportunity.
Multivisory understands that partnerships and alliances must offer clearly defined benefits to both parties and we source, structure and negotiate WIN-WIN relationships that can enhance service and build market share.
Ownership of a business is rarely a short-term affair – more often than not it requires a deeply personal commitment to a Life Journey.
Business Owners are a breed apart – Entrepreneurs who willingly take on and ‘own’ financial risks, bear the pitfalls and of course earn the rewards.
Their journey may involve taking dramatically different pathways at different times, with the ultimate destination never fully clarified over the years.
This level of intensity can often reduce Objectivity as loyalties and past beliefs run interference MultiVisory’s proprietary process was designed to help business owners find strategic clarity and purpose. Whether by objectively analysing Client Mix and Profitability or assessing existing Bench-strength and potential gaps.
In Today’s market, Private equity-backed buyers want you growing fast, but they value you based on your PROFITS. So you have to be fast-growing and highly profitable to earn a good multiple.
The Impact of Mar-Tech, FinTech and Digital Marketing and Media is changing the dynamics of Company Valuation.
Today’s multiples are dependent on many elements such as growth, profitability, business momentum, leadership, proprietary technology and scalability.
It is vitally important to get a professional assessment of your company’s saleability and truly understand exactly how EXIT READY you are.
Potential Buyers must always look to de-risk their investment by ensuring that the business they bought will continue to deliver
Agency Owners build their businesses by creating and nurturing mutually beneficial relationships with both their Clients and their Staff. This reality can also lead to deep seated loyalties – often of a familial nature. These loyalties can sometimes preclude Objectivity in assessing real capability.
Multivisory provides the focus and experience necessary to deliver objective assessments of people, processes and real potential
Top quality Talent is becoming an increasingly valuable asset to business owners in both the NOW and the TOMORROW.
Agency Owners and Executives are often too heavily enmeshed in the day-to-day operations of the company to see the wood for the trees.
Multivisory’s senior team undertakes an objective professional review of the people and processes in play, resulting in the provision of clear focused insights on changes that may need to be made.
Successful Clients have always been the lifeblood of successful agencies. Change is bound to happen as key people move or leave. A potent Pipeline of well-targeted New Business opportunities can help secure the future.
Not all agencies are alike and as such New Business Systems need to be carefully created to suit the style, character and established financial parameters of each agency.
Multivisory has the experience to define the specific New Business approach best suited to any agency. We will structure and help train your team to effectively implement New Business Success.
The Investment Community is a diverse and sometimes difficult one to access. It is vital that any company seeking Investment has a compelling, well structured “Story” and doesn’t attempt to tell it until all the T’s are crossed, the I’s dotted and the numbers carefully calculated and clearly presented.
Whether you are a Start Up seeking committed investors, or an established company seeking a strategic, financial partner to grow your business, we have the relevant experience, advisory skills and network contacts to help you reach your goals.
