Two Sides of the Table
Objective Execution
An acquisition or exit is a defining corporate event. We architect transactions that maximize shareholder value, mitigate post-completion liability and ensure commercial continuity.
Sell-Side Advisory
Preparing a business for market requires forensic structural correction. We assume the transaction lead to protect operational management from deal fatigue and control the market narrative.
-
Execution of the Capital Readiness Protocol (BCRP).
-
Management of vendor-initiated due diligence.
-
Drafting the teaser and information memorandum.
-
Discreet buyer approach and negotiation of the sale agreement.
Buy-Side Advisory
Acquisition strategy demands strict alignment with existing capital frameworks. We manage the entire acquisition lifecycle to ensure target origination results in verifiable synergy.
-
Target origination, screening and initial approach.
-
Synergy valuation and offer structuring.
-
Coordination of multidisciplinary due diligence.
-
Acquisition funding alignment and integration planning.
Valuation & Deal Structuring
The architecture of the transaction determines the realization of wealth. We establish defensible enterprise value and negotiate consideration structures, earn-out mechanics and the precise allocation of risk between counterparties.
Management Buyouts (MBOs)
Facilitating the transition of ownership to internal leadership teams. We structure the necessary mezzanine and senior debt facilities to fund the exit without collapsing ongoing operational cash flow.
End-to-End Execution
A transaction is a strictly sequenced event. Bypassing phases or accelerating market approach before structural readiness inevitably compromises enterprise valuation and deal certainty.

Preparation
