Mergers, acquisitions & divestments
We partner with clients to provide a comprehensive service
that caters for the financial and commercial issues that arise
throughout a transaction.
Moore Stephens works with clients to plan and implement merger,
acquisition and divestment strategies to realise their corporate
objectives in a seamless and commercially astute manner.
Our independence ensures that our interests and advice are entirely aligned with those of our clients.
Mergers & acquisitions
Clients should consider matters such as synergy, management,
products, markets, savings, capacity and price when evaluating a
transaction. Other considerations that could be potential
deal-breakers include inconsistent financial performance,
environmental issues and litigation.
Moore Stephens assists its clients to develop a clear strategy and
to efficiently execute their transaction through:
- pre-acquisition planning including identifying and evaluating appropriate targets and alternative acquisition structures and funding scenarios
- negotiating the optimal transaction outcome in terms of price, terms and conditions
- valuation and structuring advice
- advising on appropriate funding methods for the acquisition
- commercial and financial advice on legal documentation
- post-acquisition integration.
Divestments
Selling a business may be one of the most important financial
decisions a vendor makes. The sale of a business or major asset is
a process that requires sound planning, critical analysis, expert
advice and flawless execution.
Moore Stephens assists clients by:
- developing a divestment strategy
- establishing realistic values under alternative scenarios
- identifying and assessing prospective purchasers, both nationally and internationally
- considering alternative divestment options
- preparing or assisting in the preparation of the information memorandum
- managing "vendor due diligence" to identify and address potential transaction issues
- conducting a controlled and competitive sale process
- negotiating the optimal transaction outcome in terms of price, terms and conditions
- providing valuation and transaction structuring advice
- advising on the commercial and financial aspects of legal documentation.
