Acquisitions often sit alongside a listing — consolidating related businesses into the group before filing, or deploying proceeds afterwards. Both need to be handled with the listing timetable and disclosure obligations in mind.
We advise on the commercial shape of those transactions: what the target is worth to this buyer, how the deal should be structured, what the diligence should focus on, and how the transaction will be reported once the company is public.
We work alongside the company's legal, tax and audit advisers rather than in place of them.
What we deliver
- Commercial assessment of the opportunity and its fit
- Valuation analysis and deal structuring options
- Diligence scope defined and the process coordinated
- Consideration of reporting and disclosure consequences
- Integration planning where relevant
