Comment faire face à un plan de recrutement exceptionnel et urgent

Contexte and Vision :

Scarce management, critical losses, no interest from traditional M&A operators, ACTISS as a last resort

Our client produces renewable energy and manufactures the necessary elements for its production. It is struggling to reach the market, management is scarce and it’s not making a profit. Shareholders want to refocus on the core business at all costs.

An operational M&A emerged as the only viable solution to guaranty business continuity.
Traditional investment banks don’t see any value to the deal and ACTISS was called after many failures.

Mobilisation and Actions :

Scouting for non-obvious buyers, negotiating while supporting transition & business continuity

Given the financial situation as well as the managerial issues, we focused on selecting potential buyers with strong strategic synergies. We also worked on financial engineering to achieve the given objectives while considering the complexity of the operation.

The assets were evaluated both as a whole and separately to ensure the best value possible for our client. We also dedicated a manager to evaluate each part of the organisation and make some quick adjustments and to maintain continuity.

The Missions’ Outcomes :

A satisfying operation on all fronts, conducted in a record time

ACTISS’ expertise in the diagnosis of assets and in the development of financial engineering has been decisive for the success of this operation.
In just 9 months, we were able to carry out a successful M&A, while guaranteeing a smooth transition and the continuity of activities, leaving all the parties satisfied by the result.
