Services >> Buyer
If you are a buyer, we know where you’re coming from. Our executive team’s experience stems from more than 150 closed and integrated acquisitions within the Document and Information Management industry. We have sourced the targets, negotiated, valued, diligenced, closed the deals and run the businesses. We know the synergies, we know the pitfalls and we know how to maximize value. We specialize in sourcing deals to match your requirements based on business type, specific geography and real estate, timing, technology and other critical characteristics. We can save you time and effort by filtering out the noise and only bringing the best fit candidates to you. Because we have extensive experience in rationalization and post-acquisition integration, we can identify likely targets and provide you with expert advice on how to extract maximum value and optimize the assets of an acquired business. We are experts in achieving a fair and timely transaction for all parties.
Not all acquisition opportunities are of a standalone nature. It has been our experience that many opportunities hide in clear sight. It is not uncommon that after many years in business, companies find themselves with non-core assets and business lines or orphan locations. Some may have been peripheral to core acquisitions, a result of a shift in business focus or strategy over time, or even become orphan geographic locations as a result of changing customer relationships or market demand. Whatever the reason, they are no longer considered a part of the core business and often end up being overlooked and under-resourced. They languish and over time become ever less economically viable, until one day they end up abandoned or discontinued. However, one company’s ‘problem child’ can become another’s ‘diamond in the rough’. To the right buyer, they represent a great opportunity for expansion, synergy, rationalization and excellent value. We have extensive experience in sourcing, acquiring and integrating add-ons, carve-outs from a blended business and ‘pick-up and moves’. Let K-2 Partners help you find the great opportunities and hidden potential to complement your portfolio and footprint needs. As industry-savvy business operators, we are second to none in identifying and capitalizing on such opportunities.
As buyers, we know that closing the deal is only the beginning of the fun. Sure there is a sense of elation and accomplishment, but there is also a realization that a lot of hard work lies ahead in order to realize the projected benefits, anticipated leverage and value locked up in the newly-acquired business. This seemingly endless list contains numerous time-critical components including human resource issues, corporate policies and procedures, operational integration, real estate considerations, systems integration, safety and security and branding and the success of the acquisition hinges on their efficient and timely completion. Building and running an integration process is hard and requires extensive planning, organization and experience. K-2 Partners is unique in its post-acquisition integration and implementation experience. All members of the K-2 Partners executive team are veterans of countless multi-location, post-acquisition integration projects in the Document and Information Management space. Let our experience, resources and expert knowhow help you ensure the success of the acquisition during the integration phase of the project. We have proven processes and will work with your project team to develop the integration project plan, identify resources, set milestones and oversee implementation. We can even project manage the integration on your behalf. Post-acquisition integration is just one of the services that make K-2 Partners different; and better. We don’t walk away when the deal is done; because we are seasoned operators, we can take you beyond the deal, right through a successful integration.
