Acquisitions

"Great acquisitions don’t just happen; they’re created through clarity, discipline, and proactive engagement"

CCD supports financial and strategic clients through the full buy-side M&A journey, from defining your investment thesis and mapping the market to sourcing targets, managing negotiations, leading diligence, and executing the deal.

We can also provide modular support if you don’t need an end-to-end process. This includes standalone services such as building an acquisition universe, conducting market and target research, evaluating individual opportunities, or delivering targeted commercial insight.
