We conduct strategic reviews for clients to determine the best pathway to maximise the options and value at exit and assist with execution.
Examples of outcomes from strategic reviews can include renewing a business’s growth strategy, increasing investment in parts of the business, initiatives to improve working capital, conducting acquisitions or divestments, entering into partnerships or strategic alliances, changes to financial reporting, and informing on timing of a potential exit.
We develop the sale strategy, prepare marketing information, identify potential buyers, manage the transaction process and lead negotiations in order to get a competitive outcome and maintain the confidentiality of the process.
We are rarely engaged in situations that require an advisor only to provide resources or execute a normal process. We act in complex situations, and our advice and the processes that we design reflect transactional expertise. We optimise the results of our transactions by creating commercial, flexible processes that engage counter-parties in a way that is adapted to specific situations.
We also help our clients select the right legal and accounting advisors to ensure closure on optimal terms.
We believe in thorough preparation, and investing the time and effort to ensure readiness before engaging with potential buyers. We pay particular attention to preparing a business for sale. We invest time upfront to really understand the business through the lens of different buyers of the business. We don’t mind if this process takes twice as long as others as this exercise is critical in getting the best outcome.
We help our clients execute acquisitions that will add maximum value to their business and help them achieve their growth objectives. We help clients formulate and document their business strategy and then we canvas the market for potential acquisition targets on their behalf. We manage the process, conduct valuation, structure acquisitions and lead negotiations. Where required we also assist in securing debt and equity funding.
Business growth can be achieved efficiently and effectively with the support of new capital. We prepare the company for capital raising, identify potential investors, transaction structuring, manage the transaction process, and lead negotiations.
