Strategic advisory

Many of a company's most important decisions are rare ones: selling, buying, merging, raising capital or passing ownership on. We help owners, boards and management set the alternatives side by side and understand what each means for value, risk and ownership.

The work can stand alone or be the first step towards a transaction. Sometimes the best option is to wait.

• Strategic reviews of alternatives for owners and boards
• Preparing for a sale, ownership change or succession
• Assessing acquisitions, mergers and partnerships
• Capital needs, dividend policy and owner objectives
• Decision material for the board and shareholders

How a company is financed determines how much room its owners have to act. We assess the balance between debt and equity, loan terms and liquidity, and look at them in light of the strategy.

• Debt capacity, loan terms and liquidity
• Refinancing and dialogue with banks and other lenders
• A structure that leaves room for growth, acquisitions or an ownership change
