Insurance M&A continues to run hot. UK private equity money continues to seek out high quality intermediaries and service providers; technology providers are raising ever greater sums. M&A is an area where many management teams lack experience and value the perspective and operational support of an objective and challenging advisor.
Our industry specialism, including deep insight into growth, operations and technology in insurance, combined with our Partners’ personal experience of building businesses, makes Oxbow Partners the perfect partner for investors in UK mid-market assets and global technology assets.
Our expertise spans the full M&A lifecycle including M&A strategy, target screening, due diligence and integration. We also have experience of portfolio divestments.
Our clients value our broad perspective of the target landscape and ability to identify an approach tailored to the corporate strategy.
We help clients understand the future prospects of targets, including both the market potential and execution capabilities.
We help clients understand the end-to-end technology capabilities of targets, covering technology strategy, operations and detailed issues such as code quality.
We help clients divest non-core portfolios by running the end-to-end process including data collection, data room provision, document production, etc.
