Today we are dealing with a fast-paced M&A market. Companies are searching for better integrated and operationalised mergers and acquisitions, alliances and JVs, not to mention exits. 
‍
Our team helps companies move quickly to refine their growth strategy, perform deal sourcing, conduct diligence and valuation to achieve greater synergies during M&A integration or prepare for an exit.
‍
We will consider alternative deal structures, such as joint ventures with related industry companies to bring needed capabilities and scale innovation quickly while still allowing current owners to benefit from valuation upside in a subsequent sale or exit.
‍
We would alert our clients that an increasing consideration in M&A activity are ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) factors. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis process to identify material risks and growth opportunities. 
‍
It is no longer enough to focus alone on profits, particularly for middle to larger organisations. Broader consideration needs to be given to customer value, people value, societal value as well as financial value.
‍
Our team will assist in capturing a company’s KPIs to highlight the value created for all stakeholders – including traditional aspects of financial value, people value, customer value and societal value BUT, in addition, such aspects as brand value, community impact, sustainability, diversity, inclusion and other relevant measures.
