An M&A process typically involves far more participants than just the buyer and seller.
These primary parties are referred to as the buy-side and the sell-side.

Generally, we distinguish between strategic buyers and financial investors:

• Strategic buyers (or strategics) are usually companies with a long-term strategic interest in the transaction.
  Such an interest may include, for example, creating synergies by merging two companies or integrating complementary business units.

• Financial investors, on the other hand, such as private equity firms, pursue acquisitions primarily for financial return.
  Their objective is to generate profit through acquisitions and exits. While they also seek synergies, these typically arise not from integrating the acquired company into the fund, but rather by consolidating multiple acquired entities to enhance overall value.

Advisory and Support Roles

In addition to the buyer and seller, a wide range of advisors and specialists participate in every M&A transaction.
This is where FinCon Group, along with its operational entities — Human Ecological Business Holding International Inc. and Sirius Vision Ltd. — and its network of cooperation partners, come into play.

As an M&A advisory firm, FinCon Group supports companies in all transaction-related matters, including due diligence — a thorough review of the target company to assess risks and potential synergies.

• A Legal Due Diligence examines the target company’s legal obligations and risks.

• An ESG Due Diligence evaluates its environmental, social, and governance profile.

For Legal Due Diligence, contract structuring, and negotiations, additional experts such as M&A attorneys, tax advisors, and auditors — the FinCon Group’s cooperating partners — are brought into the process.

Meanwhile, FinCon Group’s investors ensure that transaction financing — including acquisition funding and marketing costs for successful stock placement — is fully secured.
