Both listed and privately-owned companies are increasingly disposing of non-core operations on the back of current economic climate, the disruption to traditional business models, the intervention by activist investors and the emergence of specialist private equity investors. Or simply, because they need to generate cash to strengthen balance sheets, pay down debt, invest in core activities or to enhance shareholder value.
Our role as a financial advisor is to lead and manage the deal from planning to completion. This role includes best positioning and presenting the business for sale to maximise value, identifying potential purchasers, marketing the business, evaluating offers and negotiating and closing the deal. On cross border disposals, we work in close partnership with our local country M&A teams who know and understand the local market, buyers and regulations.
