Rigorous Due Diligence
Information is the most valuable currency in any transaction. We conduct extensive financial and tax due diligence on target companies to verify their financial health. We analyse earnings quality, identify undisclosed liabilities, and assess tax risks. Our detailed reports provide you with a clear, unvarnished picture of the business, enabling you to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
Valuation and Price Negotiation
Determining the fair market value of a business is a complex blend of financial analysis and market sentiment. We utilise robust valuation methodologies—such as EBITDA multiples and discounted cash flow—to arrive at a realistic price range. We support you during the negotiation phase, providing objective data and arguments to help you secure the best possible price and terms for the deal.
Tax-Efficient Deal Structuring
The structure of a deal can have a massive impact on the net proceeds for a seller or the future tax position of a buyer. We advise on the tax implications of asset sales versus share sales, earn-outs, and deferred consideration. Our goal is to structure the transaction in a way that minimises tax leakage and aligns with the commercial goals of all parties involved.
Post-Merger Integration
The signing of the deal is just the start; the real value is created during the integration. We assist with the complex task of merging financial systems, accounting policies, and reporting structures. By helping you plan and execute the integration process, we ensure that the combined entity achieves the anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies quickly, securing the long-term success of the acquisition.
