Buyer Types (Part 2)

The strategic, synergistic and industry buyers are similar so I have put them together in this blog post.

Strategic buyer

This buyer is usually a company, having as its goal entering new markets, increasing market share, gaining new technology, or eliminating some element of competition. In essence, it is part of this buyer’s “strategy” (hence the name) to acquire other businesses as part of a long-term plan. Strategic buyers can be either in the same business as the company under consideration, or a competitor.

Synergistic buyer

Synergy means that the joining of the two companies will produce more, or be worth more than just the sum of their parts. Example: A large real estate company purchases a mortgage company. It can now use its existing customers (those who buy homes) and offer them the mortgage funds to finance their purchases.

Industry buyer

This type is often a competitor or a highly similar operation. This buyer already knows the industry well and, therefore, does not want to pay for the expertise and knowledge of the seller. These buyers will pay for assets (but probably not what the seller thinks they are worth); they will not pay for goodwill, covenants not to compete, or consulting agreements with the seller.
