Service
Mergers, Acquisitions and Transactions
Buying, selling and integrating businesses.
Overview
We support corporates, investors and governments through a deal. We help decide what to buy or sell, test the investment case, and deliver the value after signing.
Most deal value is won or lost outside the data room. It depends on a clear investment thesis before the bid and disciplined integration after closing. We combine commercial and operational diligence with practical integration and separation work. The assumptions in the deal model become the plan management actually runs.
Questions we help answer
- 01Does this target fit our strategy, and at what price does it stop making sense?
- 02Which synergies are real, who owns them, and when will they show in the numbers?
- 03How do we separate a business without disrupting either side?
Capabilities
What this service covers.
Open any capability to see what it covers.
Commercial due diligence
We test the market, customers, competitive position and business plan independently. The work is quick enough for a live process and detailed enough for an investment committee.PMI (post-merger integration)
We set the integration strategy, prepare for Day 1 and run the integration management office. We also handle the people and culture issues that decide whether the combined business holds together.Valuation support
We review the business plan, model scenarios and analyse what drives value. This supports your valuation, bid strategy and negotiating position.Divestitures, carve-outs and separations
We define what is being sold, the standalone cost and operating model, and the transitional service agreements. Then we help run the separation.Vendor due diligence
We carry out diligence for the seller. It sets out the equity story, answers buyer questions before they are asked and protects value during the sale.Synergy identification and tracking
We size synergies from the bottom up, give each one an owner and a target, and track them in the accounts. Promised savings then show up in results.JVs (joint ventures) and strategic alliances
We help choose partners, structure the deal and design governance and the operating model. The aim is a joint venture or alliance that keeps working after launch.IPO (initial public offering) readiness
We prepare the equity story, governance, reporting, controls and operations for listing. We also prepare management for running a public company.
