Anagram Events

Acquisitions 

A successful acquisition strategy can help grow your business significantly, but implementing it involves a number of steps and processes, all of which can divert management attention away from your core business. Anagram Events can support your acquisitions activity in the following ways:

• If you don't currently have a clear target in mind already, we can help analyse your business and work with you to develop a clear strategic rationale for which targets are best to approach.
• We can conduct a thorough survey of all your possible targets, weighing up the potential of each one, visiting them and talking to exhibitors and visitors where you may lack time and resources to do this in house
• We can make approaches to potential targets on your behalf, sounding them out on their openness to acquisition without revealing your identity or exposing you to the risks a direct approach may create - especially where they may be an existing competitor.
• Many acquisitions may start off as partnerships, and we can help you understand how your business is seen externally - highlighting what you bring to the table that a particular target will value, which has in turn a direct effect on the structure of any deal and the purchase price the target may ask for.
• If you already have a specific event, brand or business in mind who's viability you want to assess, or if you have already made the first steps but need a specific project fast-tracked to delivery and implementation, we can work on a fixed term project basis as part of your existing management team to help drive the development process through to completion. You get the benefits of an experienced senior level business development resource - exactly when and where you need it - without a full time addition to your overheads, and avoiding the risk of distracting your existing management team with overseas projects.
