Who does Amafi Advisory represent on buy-side mandates?

Strategic acquirers, private-equity firms, family offices, corporate development teams, and sovereign or institutional investors pursuing APAC acquisitions.

What does the engagement cover?

Target identification and prioritisation, approach strategy, valuation support, commercial and financial due diligence coordination, transaction structuring, negotiation, and completion.

Retainer plus success-fee structures, calibrated to transaction size and scope. Terms are agreed in a written engagement letter before work begins.

Do you do exclusively one-off or programmatic buy-side work?

Both. Single target acquisitions, competitive auctions, and ongoing sector roll-up or platform-extension programmes.

Who we represent

Acquirers building positions across APAC.

Strategic acquirers

Corporates pursuing inorganic growth — sector expansion, capability acquisition, geographic reach. We support corp-dev teams through approach, valuation, diligence, and negotiation.

Private equity and family offices

Institutional investors building positions in APAC — platform acquisitions, growth equity, add-ons, and minority investments. Sector depth and cross-border reach where needed.

Programmatic acquirers

Firms running rolling acquisition programmes — roll-ups, serial acquirers, and buy-and-build strategies. Structured origination and disciplined execution across multiple targets.

Cross-border buyers

Offshore acquirers moving into APAC, or APAC buyers pursuing offshore targets. Regulatory awareness across FIRB, MOFCOM, SFC, MAS, and other relevant frameworks.

Process

Five stages, target to close.

Every buy-side mandate is led by a senior banker. We structure engagements around the situation — single target, competitive process, or programmatic acquisition agenda.

Mandate and thesis

Align on the acquisition thesis, sector focus, size range, ownership profile, and strategic criteria. Set out the approach strategy and timeline.

Target identification

Build and prioritise the target universe. Screen for strategic fit, shareholder appetite, and transactability — before you spend time on the wrong conversations.

Approach and engagement

Confidential outreach to decision-makers. Manage early-stage dialogue, information exchange, and initial valuation discussions.

Valuation and diligence

Commercial and financial due diligence coordination, valuation analysis, synergy framing, and structuring — including regulatory and tax considerations.

Negotiation and close

Term-sheet and SPA negotiation, conditions precedent, regulatory filings, and completion. Continuity of senior banker support through signing.

Programmatic acquirers

Built for ongoing acquisition agendas.

For acquirers running rolling acquisition programmes — roll-ups, serial acquirers, buy-and-build — we offer ongoing origination and execution support rather than one-off mandates. Structured sector coverage, disciplined screening, and continuity across multiple transactions.
