M&A - Asset and Capital Strategy with End in Mind

M&A in energy, materials, and infrastructure demands more than financial modeling, it requires real insight into assets, operations, and execution reality. At Elebrium, M&A advisory is integrated into our broader Business Advisory platform, aligned with how owners make strategic, capital, and asset decisions.

We guide clients across the full M&A lifecycle and treat M&A as one of several capital pathways, to achieve business objectives, alongside greenfield development, brownfield expansion, partnerships, or asset optimization, to create durable value. The following sections describe our services and philosophy in detail.

How We Are Different

Traditional M&A advisors focus on closing deals, and traditional technical advisors focus on assets. Our M&A advisory services integrate transaction strategy with asset development insight, capital structuring awareness, and lifecycle thinking. By embedding M&A into our Business Advisory flow:

  • Transactions are aligned with strategy and capital discipline

  • Asset risks are understood before signing

  • Execution and integration are planned upfront

  • Long-term value creation is protected

This perspective reveals risks and opportunities that traditional financial analysis often misses.

The Outcome

Clients engage us to:

  • Evaluating buy vs build vs partner decisions

  • Make disciplined acquisition and divestment decisions

  • Avoid hidden execution and integration risks

  • Align transactions with long-term capital and asset strategy

  • Create durable value beyond deal close

We advise transactions the same way we develop assets—
with clarity upfront, discipline throughout, and performance in mind.

M&A Value is not created at signing, it is created through development discipline, operational performance, and long-term capital alignment. Our advisory bridges the gap between financial transactions and real-world asset performance. Following is where we advise in the M&A lifecycle:

Business Strategy

  • Portfolio strategy assessment

  • Inorganic vs organic growth evaluation

  • Asset vs platform acquisition logic

  • Divestment and carve-out rationale

M&A framed as a strategic business decision, not a transaction mandate.

Capital Strategy

  • Acquisition vs development capital comparison

  • Capital structure implications

  • Risk-adjusted return and downside assessment

  • Balance sheet and funding readiness

Transactions aligned with capital discipline and funding reality.

Asset Strategy & Feasibility

  • Asset-level and platform-level evaluation

  • Development, expansion, and brownfield potential

  • Infrastructure, supply chain, and execution dependencies

  • Long-term performance and scalability assessment

Clear visibility into what drives value after closing.

Commercial, Technical & Operational Due Diligence

  • Asset condition and lifecycle risk assessment

  • Execution, permitting, and ESG risks

  • Operating model and cost structure review

  • Integration and transition readiness


Reduced post-close surprises and execution risk.

Deal Support & Transaction Execution

  • Value driver and downside risk analysis

  • Scenario and sensitivity modeling

  • Investment committee and management support

  • Transaction structuring input (non-placement)


We do not act as a broker-dealer, placement agent, or investment advisor.

Post-Transaction Integration & Value Realization

  • Integration sequencing and governance

  • Capital project and growth roadmap alignment

  • Operating model and controls integration

Transactions translate into measurable business performance.
