Corporate Finance
Are you taking the best decision for the future of your business?
- Where is your business heading?
- Do you need capital or are you seeking a strategic partner?
- What is the best action plan to reduce costs and dispose of your least profitable assets?
- Are you looking to expand or diversify through acquisition?
- Are you looking to sell your business?

For a variety of reasons, many acquisitions fail to live up to expectations.
- An inappropriate financial structure
- A poor strategic fit
- Over-optimistic estimates of potential synergies
- Inability to identify or quantify recurring revenues and risks
- Lack of an integration plan
Evaluating a business in another country increases these risks still further
You are faced with another language, a cultural barrier, a different business culture, unfamiliar legal systems and accounting principles where transfer costs and tax are handled differently and where the government can play a significant role. Yet at the same time, international transactions frequently offer the best opportunities for growth:
- higher yields through savings on a significant scale
- new markets to target
- access to raw materials
- A potential means of guarding against seasonality
