MAXINORCapability · M&A
The deal closing is the easy part. Integration is where value is won or lost.
Most founders go through an M&A process once or twice in their careers. Maxinor M&A operators have sat on both sides of the table -- bringing the valuation discipline, negotiation experience, and integration planning that most first-time sellers and buyers do not have in-house.
Where Deals Break Down
Three patterns that kill transactions or waste the value in them.
Valuation Detached From Reality
Most first-time sellers anchor on a number they read somewhere, not a valuation grounded in comparable transactions and defensible financial projections. That gap kills deals in the negotiation room.
Due Diligence Surprises
Deals fall apart in diligence when founders have not done the internal audit first -- undisclosed liabilities, weak contracts, or cap table issues that surface at the worst possible moment.
Integration Treated as an Afterthought
The deal closing is the easy part. Most M&A value is lost in the first 100 days of integration when nobody owned the plan for combining teams, systems, and customers.

Sell-Side Advisory
Positioning your business for the strongest possible outcome -- valuation defence, buyer identification, and negotiation support through to close.
Due Diligence Coordination
Managing the diligence process end to end -- financial, legal, and operational -- so nothing surfaces late that could have been caught early.
