Frequently Asked Questions

M&A Advisory Basics

Working with M&A Advisors
Confidentiality
What is the primary role of M&A advisors?
M&A advisors structure your transaction, position your business strategically, and lead investor engagement — maximising value and alignment throughout the process.
When should I engage an M&A advisor?
It’s best to involve advisors early. They help prepare your company for investment, refine your positioning, and manage outreach to investors or buyers, reducing risks and delays later.
What is the difference between buy-side and sell-side advisory?
Sell-side advisors represent companies raising capital or selling shares, ensuring optimal positioning and buyer outreach. Buy-side advisors work with investors or acquirers to identify, evaluate, and negotiate suitable targets.
What types of M&A advisory firms exist?
Advisory firms range from boutique M&A firms focused on mid-market transactions to global M&A advisory firms with cross-border expertise. The right choice depends on your sector, deal type, and strategic objectives.
How is M&A advisory different from M&A consulting?
M&A advisory firms lead the deal process — positioning your business, approaching buyers or investors, and negotiating terms. M&A consulting services focus on specialist support such as valuation, modeling, due diligence, or tax structuring. AstrisNexus connects you with both, so you get the right balance of strategy and technical expertise.
How can M&A consulting and corporate finance help my deal?
M&A consulting firms add specialist support with valuation, financial modeling, and due diligence. Corporate finance M&A experts, financial advisor M&A teams, and M&A tax consultants bring clarity to the numbers and structure transactions efficiently. AstrisNexus introduces you to trusted M&A consulting companies that strengthen your overall process.
