Buy Side Advisory

Strategic Industrial Acquisitions- Precisely Executed

At JDPhilips, we help industrial operators, distributors, and investors accelerate growth through disciplined, targeted acquisition strategies. With decades of in-sector experience and direct involvement in more than $1 billion in completed transactions, we bring a practical, operator-focused approach to buy-side M&A that generalist firms simply cannot match.

We know the industrial landscape, the customers, the channels, and the financial drivers — and we use that knowledge to identify and secure high-quality opportunities that fit your strategic and commercial objectives.

Because we’ve operated inside these companies, we understand the nuances that determine success — margin profile, customer concentration, equipment condition, succession readiness, workforce stability, and integration complexity.

Philosophy

We operate like an extension of your corporate development team.

Our process is hands-on, data-driven, and built on confidentiality and trust. We help you source, evaluate, negotiate, and close deals that create long-term value — while ensuring cultural, operational, and financial alignment.

Industry specialization is our competetive advantage

  • Fluid Power

What We Deliver

Acquisition Strategy Development

We help clarify your strategic goals, expansion priorities, and ideal target profiles — ensuring every opportunity fits your long-term vision.

Proprietary Deal Sourcing

Leveraging industry relationships, market intelligence, and direct outreach, we identify off-market and selectively marketed opportunities that align with your criteria.

Target Assessment & Financial Analysis

We review operational capabilities, market positioning, management structure, and financial performance to determine true enterprise value — not just the asking price.

Valuation Guidance & Deal Structuring

We provide clear valuation frameworks and help structure deals that balance risk and reward while supporting integration success.

 

Negotiation & Process Management

From initial outreach through closing, we manage communications, due diligence coordination, timeline control, and all deal process milestones.

Integration Insight

Drawing on deep operational experience, we help anticipate integration needs early — ensuring smoother transitions post-close.
