Grow Rapidly with Bolt On Acquisitions

Are you looking to expand your market reach, enhance capabilities, or strengthen your position within your industry? Bolt-on acquisitions provide a fast-track growth strategy by integrating businesses that align seamlessly with your existing operations. With Unloq, you can accelerate and optimise this process, making growth more effective and efficient.

Supporting Your Bolt On Strategy

There are numerous reasons to grow by bolting on other companies:

  • Looking to expand your presence, identifying companies in adjacent territories or similar markets to broaden your reach
  • Wanting to enhance your products or services, finding complementary businesses that add value to your offerings and profitability to your bottom line
  • Focusing on specialisation or increasing talent, we source high-growth companies within your sector to bring in the expertise you need
  • Aiming for synergy as a goal, you can find businesses that can provide consolidation gains, maximising efficiency across your operations

Unloq is experienced with complex acquisition briefs, ensuring the right fit for your unique growth strategy.

Strategic Market Analysis

Our process begins with translating your acquisition criteria into a targeted list of prospects. This starts with an objectives meeting, followed by a deep dive into our extensive local, national, and international data sources. If the ideal company exists, we will find it.

Identifying Quality & Building a Pipeline

The companies we help our clients acquire continue to thrive, either as independent entities or as part of larger, profitable groups. We reduce bolt on acquisition risks by finding the best possible matches, providing you with a robust selection of qualified targets.

Maintaining momentum with bolt-on acquisitions requires careful timing and pipeline management. From origination to negotiation, due diligence, completion, and integration, we support you in keeping a steady pipeline, so your growth doesn’t stall if a deal falls through.
