Mergers and Acquisitions

What Mergers and Acquisitions does

Mergers & Acquisitions is an Australian boutique corporate advisory firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Perth, with additional offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The firm specializes in advising on the sale, acquisition and management buy-out/buy-in of non-retail businesses valued between AUD 5 million and AUD 200 million, and reports having successfully completed hundreds of transactions for Australian business owners sold to local and international buyers over more than three decades.

The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform or SaaS product; its offering is a pure professional services practice delivered by a senior team (approximately 11-50 employees) including a founding director, managing directors, directors and associate directors. Core services are Business Sales (full sale process management including valuation, information memorandum preparation, buyer identification, negotiation and due diligence), Acquisitions (target identification and purchase advisory), and Management Buy-Out/Buy-In advisory, underpinned by a structured six-to-twelve-month Sale Process methodology. The firm leverages its exclusive Australian alliance with Translink Corporate Finance to access 200+ investment bankers across 30 countries on six continents for cross-border buyer reach.

Revenue is generated predominantly through success-based transaction fees, supplemented by advisory retainers for preliminary valuation and process management. The firm distributes exclusively via direct senior-advisor-led engagement (no resellers, digital marketplace or app channels), with marketing driven by a corporate website, referral networks (accountants, lawyers, business associations), industry event participation and Translink cross-border referrals. The client base consists of business owner-sellers seeking exit/succession outcomes and Australian/international strategic acquirers and private equity firms, with named transaction counterparties spanning fire services, food and beverage, modular manufacturing and tyre distribution.
