How do you execute transactions at an optimal time

Helping you make better decisions

Insight that informs the timing of key decisions, such as selling or holding an asset, acquiring a business, offering management shares or raising growth capital is important when deciding when the best time to complete a transaction is. 

How can this be achieved?

  • Analysing your business to see what transaction preparation actions need to take place, planning the timing of this and judging the likely economic benefit.
  • Completing a forward-looking view of a market that identifies the micro and macro factors affecting sector health – sizing a market now, and going forward.
  • Analysing key indicators of industry health; knowing the flags and triggers for any transaction decision.
  • Analysing the key political, economic and legal challenges facing your industry.
  • Researching key information about competitors. Identifying any recent transactions in the sector and subsequent analysis of the valuation logic.

Our experience

Shareholders of a freight forwarding company approached us considering a sale and exit, but were unsure as to whether now was the right time.

We evaluated M&A activity, considering this in tandem with environmental factors, such as the Brexit vote, to ascertain if any aspects of their business could be adapted to maximise exit value. An adaption of fleet utilisation was proposed, justified by this research.

Legal considerations for doing business in the United States

With the US offering one of the largest consumer markets in the world, it’s no surprise that international businesses often view expansion there as a natural next step. But before setting up a US entity, it’s worth asking a more fundamental question: should you? Whilst the US is an attractive market, it’s also a complex and high-risk jurisdiction. The legal and tax system is layered at both the federal and state levels, employment law is intricate, and the market is highly litigious. Without the right infrastructure, advisers, and capital behind you, entering the US can become an expensive distraction. In a recent webinar hosted by Wilson Elser, a member firm of global association IAPA International, legal experts gave a practical overview of the key considerations for setting up and operating in the US.
