The Synergy Myth: Why 62% of UK Deals Fail
Most UK M&A deals fail to deliver. The reason is simple: post-merger paralysis. Stop chasing revenue synergies you cannot realize.
M&A is often a vanity project for CEOs. The reality is far grimmer. 62% of UK deals miss their expected synergies, and the primary cause is integration failure.
While boards focus on the deal close, the real value destruction happens in the first 100 days. Revenue synergies are achieved only 42% of the time. The transition from two distinct entities to a single operational unit is where synergies go to die.
Simplif-i focuses on operational reality. We cut through the optimism to deliver hard cost synergies and stable integration. Do not be another statistic.
