Businesses and investors increasingly need more than access to opportunities. They need the ability to evaluate those opportunities, understand the underlying economics and navigate the complexities of a transaction.
At Bristlecone Consultants, we provide M&A and strategic advisory support to businesses, entrepreneurs and investors evaluating acquisitions, divestitures, strategic partnerships and other corporate transactions.
Our approach combines financial analysis, business research, market intelligence and transaction-focused thinking to help clients evaluate opportunities and make informed strategic decisions.
Every transaction is different.
Our role is to understand the strategic objective behind a transaction, assess the opportunity and help our clients navigate the key financial and commercial considerations involved.
We focus on:
Where specialist legal, tax, accounting or regulatory expertise is required, we work alongside the appropriate professional advisors.
We support investors, entrepreneurs and businesses evaluating potential acquisitions.
Our work can include:

We begin by understanding the business, strategic objective, transaction rationale and key requirements.
We evaluate the opportunity through financial, commercial, industry and strategic analysis.
For acquisition or capital transactions, we help identify relevant targets, investors, buyers or strategic counterparties.
We assess valuation, transaction economics, strategic fit and key risks.
We support the transaction process through negotiations, diligence coordination and engagement with relevant professional advisors.
We assist in navigating the final stages of the transaction and coordinating the required stakeholders toward completion.
