Corporate Finance

Corporate Finance is one of our core business advisory services. Our objective is to assist our clients in creating and retaining shareholder value.

We have developed a dedicated hand-in-hand approach to maximize the value we bring to each of our corporate finance assignments. We are present at each stage of the process, from devising appropriate strategies, identifying business partners, establishing the business case, carrying out due diligences and valuations to assisting with financial structuring, negotiations and legal documentation up to the closure of the deal.

Our dedication has earned us the trust of many clients, from small businesses looking to capitalize on growth opportunities to well-established corporations involved in large scale transactions.

We offer independent and professional advice in the following areas:

Raising finance

Raising equity and/or debt on the right terms for new or existing businesses is crucial to enhancing shareholder value. We assist in structuring the transaction, providing help through all stages of the negotiation process and ensuring a smooth closing of the deal.

Business Valuations

Placing an adequate value on a business is not a simple task. And you could stand to lose on business valuations unless you have made sure you talk to the right people. We apply our proven analytical skills and industry knowledge to deliver independent, fair and well-documented business valuations.

Mergers and Acquisitions

A merger or acquisition can be a formidable opportunity to capture value. However, it requires considerable experience and knowledge to ensure that each stage of the transaction is successful, from valuation to negotiation and closing of the deal. As trusted financial advisors, we bring parties together, carrying out due diligences and working through the many drivers that can affect a deal until its successful completion.

Floatation

We assist clients in achieving a successful floatation of their business, whether an introduction, private placement or initial public offering. We offer a one-stop shop, from preparation of prospectus, to selection of legal advisors and brokers, to compliance with listing rules and regulations.

Restructuring

Carefully prepared and executed, financial restructuring can set a business on the path to improved profitability. We work closely with our clients, assessing the impact of all available options and helping them implement the best fit solution.

Disposals

We advise clients on the most appropriate way to sell their business so as to realise maximum value for the shareholders. We provide a fair valuation of the business and help through the negotiation process with the acquirer until the successful disposal of the business. Leveraging on a vast contact and client base locally and in the region, we can also assist in identifying potential acquirers.

Privatisations

We work with Governments or potential buyers in the privatisation process to achieve, inter-alia, a smooth change from the public to the private sector.  We advise on all forms of privatisation from IPOs and MBOs to strategic alliances and joint ventures. We offer full-fledged privatisation services, from due diligence reviews and valuations to preparation of bid documents and assistance throughout the full selection and/or negotiation process.
