Deal structuring

Deal structuring typically involves the detailed outline of terms that help structure a smooth transfer of business ownership. What is the best structure to be in place for the business transaction or divestment to happen? Which deal structure will fetch the highest value at the point of sale?

We will be able to assist business owners by providing a holistic view, assessing the advantages and disadvantages of certain structures and communicate key inputs that will be executable and at the same time, practical, depending on the situation and landscape of the transaction and market. We at the same time, act as the independent channel to bridge the gap between vendors and investors and to help smoothen the transfer of business ownership.

Review of buy/ sell transaction agreements

We understand that all the review of term sheets and transaction agreements requires extensive knowledge and experience on the subject matter. As all transactions are unique and there’s no generic agreement to fit all, we work closely with our client’s legal counsel and advisor in ensuring all the agreements meet the objective of the transaction.
