Growing Together
Many business owners and their teams have progressed further within Flick Anticimex to find management positions, Branch Manager roles or specialist positions. Others have decided to retire and leave their business in our safe hands after a transition period. Meet the people from various businesses we’ve merged with, to make a stronger Flick Anticimex.
Flick Process for Mergers & Acquisitions
We are looking for businesses with strong local knowledge that are keen to leverage the strength of Flick Anticimex to grow in their market. The process for mergers and acquisitions with Flick consist of three simple steps: Origination, Execution, and Integration. Learn more about each step in the process below.
Step 1 Origination
Identifying and understanding companies and people who are good fit for Flick Anticimex.
What you can expect from us:
A first informal meeting, where you will get to meet your local Flick Anticimex team, learn more about who we are and what we do, as well as our approach to M&A and our objectives with a potential acquisition.
What we expect from you:
In our first meeting we want to get to know you better, understand your business model, and culture, as well as your priorities and considerations as representative for your business.
Signs of commitment in this phase:
– A mutual Confidentiality Agreement (non-disclosure agreement)
– A high-level standardised information request (formulated by Flick Anticimex)
– A non-binding offer (Letter of Intent)
Step 2 Execution
In-depth analysis of the business and agreeing on transaction documentation (2-4 months)
What you can expect from us:
Flick Anticimex conducts an in-depth analysis, which normally includes a due diligence by third party advisors. Identification of key risks and mitigations as well as areas of improvement.
What we expect from you:
Our aim is to understand as much as possible of the inherent value of the business, referring to people and customers. Together we set up and decide on the future organisational structure.
Signs of commitment in this phase:
– Agree transaction documents with detailed terms
– Legal completion of the acquisition via payment of purchase price and transfer of shares or assets
Step 3 Integration
Highly structured integration to retain value in the acquired business (6-12 months)
What you can expect from us:
Once the deal is signed and sealed, Flick Anticimex initiates the integration process as quickly as possible with the main priority being a smooth transition. Integration includes onboarding employees by introducing the Flick Anticimex culture, our de-centralised operational model and our unique service offering – SMART Digital Pest Control technology and residential Home Protection Pest control plans. Our aim is always to keep what works and act on areas of improvement.
What we expect from you:
Sellers are encouraged to remain after completion of the transaction. We are happy to see that many sellers choose to remain with us and become part of the Flick Anticimex family. For us that means we made the right choice acquiring a business with a strong management and cultural match.
