Introduction

Ronin Partners provides Mergers and Acquisitions advice to entrepreneurs and investors across the Internet Services sector.

This has been our focus since starting up in 2004. As a result, we have gained an extensive network of industry contacts and knowledge of the buyer/investor universe in which we operate.

The majority of our assignments are sale mandates where we focus on achieving the best possible valuation for our clients by developing a controlled competitive search for purchasers, mindful of the need for discretion.

 

For "buy-side" assignments, we seek to use our contacts, sector knowledge and original research to identify multiple targets before presenting them for selection.

We manage every stage of the transaction process, producing information materials, identifying and contacting potential counter-parties, putting in place non-disclosure agreements, supporting price negotiations; working with our clients through to a satisfactory conclusion.

Our fees are predominantly contingent upon success so we pay particular attention to clients' expectations prior to engagement. We will not take on a project if we do not think we can meet those expectations. We always communicate openly.
