Accelerated M&A is used to describe a sale process where the usual timescales involved in selling a business are dramatically reduced.
A typical sale process can take between 3 – 6 months but an accelerated process is usually measured in weeks and in extreme cases only days.
Why use accelerated M&A?
Accelerated M&A is usually appropriate for situations where value needs to be realised in a short timeframe in order to avoid the possibility of an unplanned insolvency.
More value can be typically realised through a controlled disposal exercise as opposed to an unplanned insolvency. As such in the vast majority of cases acting early will lead to a better result than a forced sale in insolvency.
