Produce an Information Memorandum end-to-end

Support an acquisition strategy
For Locala, alongside the CFO: analysis of acquisition targets and inbound opportunities in digital advertising, valuations and process monitoring to prepare investment decisions.

What professionals say
5.0/5 on Malt - 5 client reviews →
“[…] The final document is not only complete and well structured, it also reflects a deep understanding of our needs and objectives.”
“Jérôme supported us on commercial pitches and I can only warmly recommend working with him if you are embarking on an M&A transaction. From the outset, he scoped the assignment with real rigour. His technical expertise and commitment are impressive, and he has a genuinely entrepreneurial profile.”
“Jérôme has strong analytical skills, a critical mind and an entrepreneurial culture - qualities he puts to good use on fundraising and other equity matters!”
A background built at the heart of transaction execution
JMP Advisory is an independent practice dedicated to M&A execution, founded by Jérôme Lenay. I support deal teams and business owners on the work a transaction requires, with a rigorous, responsive, deliverable-focused approach.
My experience in investment banking (Edmond de Rothschild, Stifel Europe) and in M&A boutiques (Auxine Partners, Intuitu Partners) allows me to work to a high standard across a wide range of mandates, from valuation to data room.
The objective is simple: secure the execution and give deal teams their time back.
Frequently asked questions
What is your scope of work?
I cover the full range of M&A execution work: pitch materials, valuation, Information Memorandum, Management Presentation, process management and data room coordination. My scope spans sell-side and buy-side M&A transactions as well as fundraising processes.
How does the engagement work?
The engagement adapts to your needs: a one-off assignment on a specific deliverable, hands-on support on a live transaction, or ongoing support over several months. I plug directly into your existing teams and processes, either under my own name or on a white-label basis.
How quickly can you start?
I can typically start an assignment within 24 to 48 hours. Every proposal then sets a firm delivery timetable, kept the way an M&A process timetable is kept.
How are your assignments priced?
Three models depending on the assignment: a daily rate for ongoing support, a fixed fee for a specific deliverable (Information Memorandum, valuation, data room), or a success-fee component when I support the execution of an entire transaction, alongside the mandated advisor or directly for the owner - never in competition with an advisor already in place. A firm, itemised proposal is always provided after a first conversation, at no cost and with no commitment.
What types of organisations do you work with?
I work with investment banks, M&A boutiques, investment funds, growth companies and startups. My experience within leading institutions allows me to adapt to the standards of each type of organisation.
How do you handle confidentiality?
Confidentiality is central to my practice. I systematically sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and apply the same standards of discretion as those in force in investment banks.
How do you manage conflicts of interest?
Conflict checks before any engagement; I never act for two opposing or competing parties on the same transaction; each client’s information is strictly ring-fenced. Sector exclusivity can be agreed contractually.
Who owns the deliverables?
Deliverables and their source files (PowerPoint, Excel) are handed over to the client and become their property; no content produced for one client is ever reused for another.
Who actually does the work?
I personally carry out all the work; no subcontracting without prior written agreement. Every assignment starts on an agreed timetable, with regular progress updates.
Do you work with artificial intelligence?
Yes, openly: AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Rogo, Grasp) are built into the production process to accelerate research, analysis preparation, consistency checks and formatting. Every deliverable is then reviewed, verified and signed off by me - AI accelerates, the expert stays in charge and takes responsibility. The handling of confidential data is defined contractually with each client, under NDA.
