Your Deal is our Deal: Buy

Your situation

You’ve got questions, we provide answers

You’re planning an acquisition, which means you’re going to face a wide range of questions and challenges before you finalise your decision. You’re also going to face questions around decisive success factors after you’ve committed to making an acquisition, as well as during the acquisition process and after signing. What are the most important considerations when it comes to increasing the value of the target company? What role do ESG criteria play in this? What effect will it have on your balance sheet and KPIs? How should you reflect the impact of the acquisition in your accounts? Should you integrate the target company’s financial reporting processes into the rest of your company? Our consultancy will always reflect your unique deal process: We support you before, during and after you buy a company.

ESG diligence identifies key ESG criteria and value creation opportunities early in the transaction process, determines ESG positioning within the competitive environment, and considers the effect on the investment's financial KPIs. Our team can support you in the implementation of the right tax-related and legal structures for your acquisition by combining our longstanding expertise in tax, financing and accounting, together with our deep industry knowledge. We can also support you in the valuation process, and help generate an overview of how the purchase price is distributed across the relevant assets and liabilities. We promise to accompany you throughout every stage in the transaction process. We can also provide support during strategic and operational post-merger integration activities, as well as with managing the acquisitions impact on the balance sheet and developing sustainable tax strategies for long-term success.
