Strategic advisory · Mergers and acquisitions
M&A for your startup’s next stage.
We support founders and companies in Latin America that need to evaluate and work on an M&A transaction. We start with the strategic objective and business readiness, then organize alternatives, counterparties and execution within the agreed scope.
Define what the transaction needs to achieve
A sale, acquisition or business combination needs to address a specific need. We review the company’s objective, its alternatives and the cash, timing and information constraints that shape the decision.
Before approaching counterparties, it matters to understand the business being presented, the evidence behind it and the decisions founders and shareholders need to make.
From analysis to transaction coordination
- Strategy and alternatives
- Assess the objective against available options and define criteria for evaluating a transaction. Agree on priorities and conditions that change the decision.
- Business preparation
- Organize the narrative, commercial and financial information, presentation materials and information gaps for the process.
- Counterparties and discussions
- Define the counterparty profile, prioritize candidates by fit and organize outreach and next steps.
- Negotiation and execution
- Support discussions of alternatives and terms, information exchange, and coordination of due diligence and closing with the relevant specialists.
Information and owners for each decision
The process needs a record of discussions, requested information, outstanding matters and next actions. Together, we define deliverables and each participant’s responsibility before proceeding.
Materials should support business review while preserving control over information. Information is shared according to the process stage, and legal, tax and other specialist matters are coordinated with the relevant professionals.
Working alongside the company
The company and its shareholders retain decision-making responsibility. AceleraLatam provides analysis and execution support within a scope defined for the transaction.
The first conversation helps us understand the need, readiness and type of support required. A transaction’s outcome depends on the opportunity, counterparties and agreed terms.
Frequently asked questions
Before we talk.
Are M&A and fundraising the same service?
A funding round seeks to finance the company; M&A may involve a sale, acquisition or business combination. We review the objective to define the appropriate process and scope.
Can I inquire before deciding to sell or acquire?
Yes. The work can begin with assessing alternatives and preparing information for a decision. The first conversation does not commit you to a transaction.
Who handles legal and tax matters?
They are coordinated with lawyers and specialists according to the transaction’s characteristics. Responsibilities and services are defined before proceeding.
What should I share in the first contact?
What the company does, the objective and the current status of discussions. Use general information in the form; confidential materials are shared later through agreed channels.
Does engaging an advisor guarantee a transaction?
No. Advisory does not guarantee a counterparty, valuation, terms or closing. The scope of work is agreed for each company.
