Acquisitions, Mergers and Disposals

Business growth can be achieved through organic growth or via mergers & acquisitions (M&As). The latter option has the advantage of accelerating turnover dramatically in a short period. However, M&As are fraught with risks, which, if not managed correctly, can turn benefits (e.g. economies of scale, enhanced presence, increased turnover, increased service provision) into dangers that can threaten the very existence of the business that undertook the risk.

Our Business Advisory team has the expertise to help directors collate the necessary information to enable them to make the right decisions. We are able to perform the following tasks:

• Identify appropriate M&As targets
• Help formulate negotiating strategies and provide assistance when required
• Undertake financial due diligence for vendors/sellers
• Provide evidence to lending entities when you need to raise additional capital for M&As
• Provide guidance when you wish to dispose of a particular asset in order to enhance your profits
• Assist in settling disputes amongst company shareholders
• Assist with company re-structuring
• Deliver comprehensive tax structuring plans
• Formulate beneficial exit strategies
• Design effective marketing strategies
