Merger and Acquisition Advisory

M&A advisory is the financial, tax, due diligence, valuation, and structuring work involved in buying, selling, or merging a business. It helps you understand what you are dealing with, structure the transaction well, and complete it with confidence, working alongside your legal and corporate advisers.

Due diligence is the investigation of a business’s financials, tax position, and risks before a transaction. For a buyer, it confirms what you are acquiring and informs the price. For a seller, vendor due diligence presents a clean, well-understood business and helps the sale run smoothly.

It depends. A share sale and an asset sale have different tax, risk, and liability outcomes for the buyer and the seller, and the better choice varies with the circumstances. We model both and advise on the structure that best fits your objectives.

We use recognised valuation methods, such as earnings multiples, discounted cash flow, and net asset approaches, choosing the method and inputs that suit the business. A well-supported valuation helps you negotiate from an informed position.

We provide the financial, tax, due diligence, valuation, and structuring support around a transaction, working alongside your legal advisers, brokers, and any licensed corporate advisers. We are not a broker or investment bank, and we coordinate with the licensed parties who arrange and lead the deal.

Yes. We help sellers get sale-ready, including vendor due diligence and addressing issues before a buyer finds them, so the sale is cleaner, faster, and more likely to achieve full value. For owners planning their exit, this connects closely with our succession planning service.
