At Siuma Capital, we advise companies looking to expand to new levels of growth. Whatever your challenges may be, our passion for financial advisory is what allows us to help our companies reach success.
REALIZE YOUR SUCCESS
Sell-Side Advisory
Selling your company is an incredible feat—a validation of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into creating something great. When that time comes, you can count on us to be by your side, sleeves rolled up and working hard to help you reap the fruits of your life’s work.
With nearly $2 billion USD of transactions under our belt across over 20 industries, our team has cultivated a deep expertise—and robust rolodex of players across Latin America and beyond—that can help you safeguard your company’s legacy and gain the true benefits of your labor.
Siuma’s Sell-Side Process
STEP 1
Find the Right Bank
Selling your business is a hard-earned success, possible only through years of passionate, tough work. You want a bank that will be your partner throughout the process, help you navigate the M&A landscape, and ensure you get the outcome you want. After all, it’s not just about getting a transaction done, it’s about getting the right transaction done—one that fits your unique goals.
STEP 2
Organize and Position your Company
Welcome to one of the most novel experiences of your company—the M&A process. Now that you’ve decided to sell, Siuma can help you show your company in the best light. By organizing company information, positioning company information, creating financial models and valuations, and preparing strong marketing materials, we can make you ready for finding a buyer.
STEP 3
Find Buyers and Create Competition
We view it as imperative to be persistent in finding high-quality, compatible buyers. Our strong company rolodex, buoyed by close relationships in Latin America and beyond, allows us to scout out the best buyers, not just the ones which are most local, salient, or easy to find. Remember, high-quality companies (like yours) are scarce—not acquirer’s capital. When multiple buyers compete, you win.
STEP 4
Due Diligence
While this may seem like a tedious step to take, we are committed to making the process as seamless as possible. With a confidential and secure virtual data room to facilitate due diligence, as well as managing logistics and company visits, we can help you execute an efficient process.
STEP 5
Negotiation and Close
You’ve received binding offers and made it through most of the process. We can work with you now to analyze offers received lead an efficient negotiation process, and advocate for you to ensure a positive result. Moving forward, we are by your side and proactively looking at any regulatory approval or paperwork that needs to be processed.
Now, take a breath, and congrats! We know your years of work are validated, and we are thrilled to be alongside you for such an exciting time.
FIND THE IDEAL FIT

Siuma’s Buy-Side Process
STEP 1
Find the Right Target
Finding a new business to join your corporate family can be exciting yet challenging at times as you search for that ideal acquisition. That’s where we hope to step in as your partner. Our strength lies in our deep, years-long relationships with companies across Latin America and beyond. In conjunction, we do a thorough comb of the industry, sub-sector, and market to find more targets that fit your unique criteria. The bottom line? We won’t stop until we find the perfect potential targets for you.
STEP 2
Approach and Evaluate
Target Opportunities
After finding those promising opportunities, it’s time to do more of a deep dive to make sure they’re compatible with you. This is where we excel: our strong connections provide a natural stepping stone into the most prominent and attractive enterprises across the region, helping us gauge interest and search for any red flags. From internal company analyses to bespoke acquisition strategies, we aren’t afraid of going too deep. In this regard, we are agile and persistent—we recognize the importance of finding the Goldilocks fit into your corporation.
STEP 3
Valuation
You might’ve just found the company, so the next step is to see just how much it’s worth to you. In other words, it’s time to get technical—one of our fortes, learned straight from the New York gold standard. As we start drafting models and valuations, we’re making sure to incorporate various scenarios and sensitivities to get a comprehensive view of the firm. If we progress to the Non-Binding Offer (NBO), we are by your side the whole way, from speaking to shareholders to presenting to your Board.
STEP 4
Due Diligence
While this does mean time to get into the nitty gritty, it’s also our first internal view of the company. On that note, although due diligence can be tedious, we are committed to making the process as seamless as possible. With a confidential and secure virtual data room to facilitate due diligence, as well as preparing Q&As and identifying areas of focus, we can help you execute an efficient process.
STEP 5
Negotiation and Close
You’ve sent in your binding offers and made it through most of the process. Now, we can partner with you through the negotiation process as an advocate for the most positive result. Moving forward, we are by your side and proactively looking at any regulatory approval or paperwork that needs to be processed.
At last, congrats! We know you are elated to welcome a new company into your family, and we are thrilled to be alongside you for such a novel, exciting time.
REACH YOUR WORTH
Valuation
Valuation is a powerful tool to realize the true potential and worth of your company, whether it be a part of exploring a transaction or a strategic analysis to undertake at any part of a company’s life cycle.
As experts in M&A, our team has an extensive database of comparable transactions and companies plus an expertise in modelling learned straight from the top banks in New York. Our valuation services and industry knowledge can help you accurately understand the value of your business, asset, or product line.
