Manage every aspect of your M&A deal in one secure, cloud-based environment

Midaxo was designed with one goal in mind – to improve M&A efficiency and help teams get as much value as possible out of their deals. The best way to achieve this is by providing your teams with a centralized solution that manages every step of a transaction.

Managing an M&A pipeline befitting of today's deal environment is increasingly becoming a juggling act of speed – while at the same time, requiring active management of vast amounts of information. Taking the time to structure the M&A pipeline process and the pattern of workflow in the evaluation of targets will allow for more informed and timely decisions to be made and ultimately, provide a higher chance of the most suitable targets being pursued to acquisition.

COVID-19 has slowed the global economy on all fronts, and the M&A market is no exception.

Uncaptured Synergies from the Past Acquisitions

During the economic expansion over the past 10+ years, many of our clients embarked on an ambitious spree of add-on, tuck-in, and even transformational acquisitions. Many of them were focused on building their target pipelines and executing deals. Sometimes they had time only for superficial integrations of the acquired companies, resulting in a quilt of half-integrated companies.
