The transaction is one decision. The capital structure is the rest.

Our angle

We come at transactions from the financing side. A price that looks fair on a multiple can be unserviceable once the acquisition debt, the earn-out and the working capital swing are in the same model. We build that model before the letter of intent, not after.

Sell-side

• Valuation and readiness review — what a buyer will discount and why
• Information memorandum, buyer mapping and controlled process management
• Negotiation support through due diligence to share purchase agreement

Buy-side

• Target screening and financial due diligence coordination
• Acquisition financing: debt capacity, structure and lender approach
• Post-completion capital structure and covenant headroom planning

Also within this practice

• Shareholder restructuring and generational transfer in family businesses
• Minority investment and growth capital raises
• Independent valuation opinions for boards
