The M&A process

- Due diligence: Tax, finance, HR.
- Transaction: M&A support, Purchase Price Allocation.
- Post-purchase: Accounting, outsourcing, tax, plus HR and IT.
Supporting M&A decision-making
- Our due-diligence reporting provides a thorough review of the in-scope assets and liabilities. We follow up our findings with recommendations and guidance to assist you in your negotiations, or help you prepare for a sale.
- We can assist with valuations of a business, shares and other forms of equity. Our valuations are technically robust and will help you understand the value consequences of different strategies and actions.
- Our capital structuring review of your existing debt and equity structures can help develop a path to optimise your debt/ equity position. We can introduce you to suitable debt providers, and investors who can help grow your business.
- Our dedicated HR consulting team can help you plan and manage the impact on people prior to and during a merger or acquisition to help make the move to your new business model as smooth as possible.
Beyond the deal
- We can help with cash flow modelling and forecasting to determine whether the transaction under review is capable of providing the outcome you are expecting.
- We can assist with purchase price allocations and subsequent impairment testing of new or existing business units.
- Our dispute resolution team can provide support through shareholder, matrimonial, loss of opportunity or other disputes, whether at negotiation or litigation stage.
- We can be your sounding board for directors, management or stakeholders and offer a view of an organisation and its plans independent of internal or other external advisors.
