Enterprise M&A Five Major Stages
Corporate acquisition and sales are usually divided into five key stages, and each stage requires involvement and precise control of a professional team.
Phase 1
Preparation
The objective of the preliminary planning is to lay a solid foundation for the entire M&A project.
Main tasks include:
Discussion on M&A objectives and strategies
Company valuation and financial analysis
Vendor due diligence
Preparation of teaser and Information Memorandum (IM)
At this stage, Singway will assist clients in defining clear objectives, preparing professional documents, and refining financial and legal structures to ensure the attractiveness and transparency of the M&A project in the market.
Phase 2
Buyer Screening
The seller will search in the market for suitable buyers or investors.
Common buyer categories:
Strategic buyers
From the same or upstream/downstream industries, aiming to achieve synergy through acquisition; usually willing to pay a higher premium.
Financial buyers
Including private equity funds, family offices, etc., with investment returns as the primary objective.
Singway will screen potential buyers that match the client's financial strength, industry background, and strategic objectives, while establishing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) mechanism to ensure information security.
Phase 3
Bidding
When potential buyers confirm their interest, the seller will provide an Information Memorandum.
Key tasks in this stage include:
Answering buyers' initial questions
Arranging management meetings and presentations
Receiving non-binding offers (NBO) / term sheets
Singway will assist the seller in negotiating the price range, analyzing term structures, and evaluating the pricing logic of potential buyers to establish optimal conditions for the subsequent due diligence process.

Due diligence is one of the most important stages in the entire M&A process.
Scope includes:
Financial due diligence
Assets & liabilities, profitability, cash flow, etc.
Tax due diligence
Tax risks, filing compliance, potential underpayment

Contracts, shareholder agreements, IP, litigation history
