Acquisition Readiness Review
Start before the market is approached.
The Acquisition Readiness Review tells you whether your mandate is ready to take to market – and what should be fixed before capital and leadership time are committed.
What we assess- Thesis clarity – is your acquisition rationale specific enough to drive a disciplined search?
- Target criteria – are your criteria sharp enough to rule things out, not just in?
- Board alignment – does your leadership team agree on what success looks like?
- Origination route – how will you access the right targets before they reach the open market?
- Execution risk – where are the most likely points of failure in your process?
Output
A short written view on whether your acquisition mandate is ready to take to market, where it is exposed, and what should happen next. Clear. Specific. Actionable.

Who will I speak to?
Every Acquisition Readiness Call is with a senior Acquisitiv adviser directly. There are no account managers, junior analysts, or intake coordinators at Acquisitiv. If you proceed with an engagement, Mike remains your senior point of contact throughout. That is not a marketing claim – it is the structural reality of how Acquisitiv operates.
