Strategy & Finance

Corporate finance and strategic advisory

Acquisition advisory

An acquisition may be appropriate when you want to accelerate the growth of your organisation, when the existing management wishes to acquire the business (a management buyout, or MBO), or when an external manager wishes to take ownership (a management buy-in, or MBI).

Business sale advisory

There are many reasons to sell a business. Potential buyers include a strategic purchaser, a family member as part of business succession, existing management, an external manager or a financial investor.

Mergers and demergers

The terms merger and acquisition are often used interchangeably. A merger commonly describes two businesses coming together on an equal footing. A demerger separates activities into distinct businesses.

Independence and governance mergers

We advise on combining organisations or establishing part of an organisation as an independent entity, including in the not-for-profit sector.

Many organisations operate at the intersection of government and the private sector. Cooperation and partnership arrangements form part of our advisory work.
