Accelerated M&A

Accelerated M&A provides a key lifeline to a huge number of companies. Freeths has the experience, resources and expertise to deliver clear, fast and commercial advice on accelerated M&A transactions whether you are a buyer, seller, investor, lender, director or other stakeholder. We have advised on numerous accelerated M&A transactions typically valued between £1million to £50million.

Accelerated M&A is the sale of a business in a very short timescale to achieve an exit in challenging circumstances and very often as a result of cash-flow issues. This is distinct from distressed M&A e.g. where an insolvency process is involved.
