Transaction Advisory Services (TAS)

Due diligence is crucial for making an informed investment decision. The process identifies financial, tax, legal and operational risks so that you, the buyer, do not face any unpleasant surprises. In addition, due diligence provides insight into the true financial health and strategic value of the business you want to acquire. This enables you to set realistic expectations, set a fair price and use effective negotiation strategies. For sellers, it helps to identify and resolve potential risks in advance, increasing the chances of a smooth and successful deal.

The right transaction structure depends on several factors, including tax benefits, legal implications and strategic objectives. A well-chosen structure can optimise tax liabilities, mitigate risks and improve the transaction's fundability. For instance, an asset transaction may be beneficial to minimise debts and liabilities, while an equity transaction may be easier in maintaining existing contracts and licences. We help you analyse the different options, taking into account your long-term strategy and the interests of all stakeholders. This way, we ensure that your transaction is structured in the best possible way.

Enterprise Value (EV) represents the total value of a business, including debt and cash. It provides a picture of what the business is really worth to all capital providers. Equity Value, on the other hand, is the value remaining to shareholders after debt is deducted. This distinction is important in acquisition negotiations because the final purchase price is often influenced by debt and working capital. We guide you in analysing these components and make sure you understand how these values affect your deal. This helps you make a fair and well-informed decision.
