Expertise: Mergers & Acquisitions

I now have a strong appreciation for the tremendous value that the right investment bank can deliver in a sales process – particularly in the current, choppy M&A market. GLC’s expertise in positioning software companies, negotiating successful M&A deals, and driving deals to a positive close, produced a terrific outcome for our organization. I would highly recommend GLC to any tech company looking to navigate these uncharted Tech M&A waters.

Relinquishing control of what you’ve dedicated your life to building isn’t easy. GLC proved you can move through this experience with confidence. Because of their skills and integrity, you can trust them fully to deliver the results you imagine.

As an Australian headquartered company embarking on our first capital raise in the US, we knew from the outset that our selection of the right banking partner was critical. We conducted an extensive selection process, during which time GLC demonstrated by far the highest level of knowledge and expertise, and most importantly work ethic and flexibility, compared to the other candidates. We also felt a strong sense of culture fit with the GLC team, a very important factor knowing the journey ahead would not be an easy one given the difficult market conditions. To make matters even more complicated, just as we were preparing to launch the raise process with GLC, we received an unsolicited response to be acquired by a US company. Despite such an unusual twist, GLC was able to immediately adapt and run a parallel process of both capital raising and a possible acquisition. What ensued was an incredibly complex two months of negotiations and due diligence, involving legal and accounting matters on a global scale, given our entities in Australia, the US, UK, and EU. GLC relentlessly quarterbacked the whole process, enduring all matter of working hours, twists and turns as things unfolded. Whilst many observers told us the process would take at least 3-4 months, GLC was able to work with us to get it done in two. Quite simply we could not have done it without the team at GLC.

When I decided to explore the strategic options for our company, GLC was my only call. Over the years, the GLC team provided thoughtful guidance on market conditions and walked me through the roadmap of a successful sale process. The team ran a competitive process that exceeded my expectations in terms of buyer interest, due diligence preparation, and valuation outcome. I always felt they had my best interests top of mind and represented me at all times. I would only recommend GLC to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trusted advisor when considering a sale.
