Our Acquisition Process
HW Capital Group follows a structured, transparent approach to acquisitions, ensuring a smooth experience for business owners.
Our Five-Step Process
Initial Conversations
We begin with informal discussions to understand your business, its history, and your goals for the future. This helps us determine if there's a potential fit between your company and HW Capital Group.
What to expect:
- Introductory calls or meetings
- Discussion of your business operations and history
- Exploration of your goals and timeline
- No commitment required at this stage
Indication of Interest (IOI)
If our initial conversations indicate a potential fit, we'll provide a non-binding Indication of Interest that outlines a preliminary valuation range and key terms. This helps align expectations on value early in the process.
What to expect:
- Preliminary valuation range
- Outline of potential deal structure
- Non-binding terms
- Basis for further discussions
Letter of Intent (LOI)
Once we've reached alignment on value and key terms, we'll present a Letter of Intent that outlines the proposed transaction in more detail. This document typically includes exclusivity provisions to allow for focused due diligence.
What to expect:
- Detailed transaction terms
- Purchase price and structure
- Timeline for due diligence and closing
- Exclusivity period
Due Diligence
Our due diligence process is thorough but efficient. We'll examine financial records, operations, legal matters, and other key aspects of your business to confirm our understanding and validate the proposed terms.
What to expect:
- Financial review
- Operational assessment
- Legal and compliance review
- Customer and supplier analysis
- Management meetings
Completion
Once due diligence is complete and all terms are finalized, we'll move to closing the transaction. Our legal team will work with yours to ensure a smooth process and transition of ownership.
What to expect:
- Definitive purchase agreement
- Closing documentation
- Funds transfer
- Transition planning
- Post-acquisition integration

While each acquisition is unique, we strive to maintain an efficient process that respects your time and business needs.
