Whether you require support to plan and execute an entire transaction or only assistance with certain steps, JC Jones brings you the experience and know‐how to help you maximize value.

We bring a wealth of financial, operational and information systems experience to augment your internal resources.  While traditional investment bankers focus on “doing the deal,” that only gets you to the integration starting line where most deals come apart.  JC Jones manages the entire process.

Most companies that want to grow through M&A transactions underestimate the effort required and are often ill prepared for success.   JC Jones knows what it takes and will help you be ready to realize the value you expect from M&A activates.

Our process begins with a client readiness assessment. Let JC Jones help you answer these questions and more. We will assess your M&A process and enhance your readiness by incorporating any missing components into a well integrated and comprehensive M&A process.

Client Readiness Assessment

• What are your M&A criteria?
• Do you have the internal processes, skill sets, resources and tools necessary to maximize value?
• How do you handle transaction support, valuation, due diligence and negotiations?
• Do you have a well defined business integration process to ensure synergies are realized?
• How do you measure and evaluate success?

Process and Organization Alignment are critical factors in successful merger and acquisition transactions enabling companies to maximize realized value.

Our research shows that over 70 percent of all M&A activity globally is considered a failure for not achieving expected performance.

The merging of two or more organizations is complex and risky. The most successful transactions follow a structured and disciplined approach, with clear strategic objectives, detailed implementation plans, and a relentless focus on timely and effective integration.

Following this approach is key to creating and capturing expected value. In its simplest form, an organizationally aligned framework will support a company’s M&A growth strategy.  JC Jones’ proven solution to help companies achieve Process and Organizational Alignment effectively supports a growth strategy that utilizes a strong M&A component.
