Case study: Striven Group

How we found new opportunities for a business to diversify their portfolio

Overview

We helped Striven Group find companies for an acquisition that were outside of their industry sector.

Striven approached Nash Advisory with the intent of finding a way to grow their business into new sectors to increase market share. They wanted a comparable company of size, complimentary customers, and technology which would give their business a chance to grow.

We assisted Striven Group with a buy side acquisition search to find them suitable options. Our deep analysis of the market provided multiple targets to put Striven on the right path to finding an ideal candidate.

The situation

Striven Group has been operating in their industry for over 15 years. The point of sale market in Australia has undergone substantial change with the advent of digital technology that's changed the way customers access products and services.

Striven Group wanted to capitalise on their already strong position in the marketplace. They saw the need to grow their business portfolio by acquiring a new business and wanted to investigate the possibility of extra avenues for growth. They wanted to investigate the possibility of additional expansion routes but they didn't know where to start.
