The lithium battery industry is a $48 billion industry with a five-year compound annual growth rate of 23%.
Lithium batteries can be used to power electric vehicles, households, personal electronics, and as a power backup storage. The technology allows lithium batteries greater energy storage because of the smaller and denser chemical structure. Of the energy stored in lithium-ion batteries, 95% is available for use, whereas lead acid batteries have 10% less voltage capacity.
Storage is important in renewable energies because it ensures there is always an availability of electricity. Batteries allow for energy to be stored during peak generation hours and used during off periods.

A Step-By-Step Process Guide to the Sell-Side M&A Process

STEP 3: A site visit usually occurs while transitioning an IOI to an LOI and is an opportunity for the buyer and seller to meet and conduct a deep dive into any outstanding items that need to be settled, before executing an LOI. Since LOIs are legally binding, many buyers will require exclusivity after an executed LOI, which is also referred to as a “no-shop clause.” This means the seller will not be able to conduct sale-related conversations
during the no-shop period and must ensure the upcoming due diligence will be satisfactory, in order to close the deal.

This information includes but is not limited to financial information, the growth history of the company, intangible asset information (e.g., customer relationships and proprietary technology), and the reasons the owners are selling the business.

Industry-standard deliverables, such as a confidential information memorandum (CIM) and audited financial statements, are used in this phase to market the business to potential buyers. This phase is vital because any delays while in the market can impact the outcome of a transaction.
