Merger & Acquisition Advisory

Q: How is a business valued in an M&A deal?

Valuation draws on approaches such as discounted cash flow, comparable company or transaction multiples, and asset-based methods, adjusted for the specifics of the business and deal, to inform a realistic value range and negotiation.

Q: Do you advise both buyers and sellers?

Yes. We support acquirers looking to grow and owners looking to sell or merge, bringing the same rigour to strategy, valuation, due diligence, structuring, and negotiation on either side of the deal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does M&A advisory involve?

M&A advisory supports businesses through mergers, acquisitions, and sales — covering strategy, identifying targets or buyers, valuation, due diligence coordination, deal structuring, and negotiation support through to closing. The goal is to help you complete the right transaction on sound terms while protecting and creating value.

How is a business valued in an M&A deal?

Valuation typically draws on approaches such as discounted cash flow, comparable company or transaction multiples, and asset-based methods, adjusted for the specifics of the business and deal. We prepare and interpret this analysis to inform a realistic value range and support negotiation on price.

Do you advise both buyers and sellers?

Yes. We support acquirers looking to grow through acquisition and owners looking to sell or merge. In each case we bring the same rigour to strategy, valuation, due diligence, structuring, and negotiation, tailored to whether you are on the buy side or the sell side.

How important is due diligence in M&A?

It is critical. Due diligence verifies the target's financials, uncovers risks and hidden liabilities, and informs both pricing and deal terms. Skipping or rushing it can lead to overpaying or inheriting serious problems. We coordinate thorough financial due diligence as a core part of the process.

How do you help structure the transaction?

We advise on structuring the deal efficiently from a financial and tax perspective — considering how the transaction is framed, funded, and sequenced. Working alongside legal counsel where required, we help ensure the structure supports your commercial objectives and manages risk and tax impact.
