Execute transactions at the optimal time

We offer 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. 

How do we do this?

• Analysing your business to see what transaction preparation actions need to take place, planning the timing of this and judging the likely economic benefit.

• Provide a forward-looking view of a market that identifies the micro and macro factors affecting sector health. Sizing a market now, and going forward, via a three scenario view – best, worst and reference cases.

• Analysing key indicators of industry health; providing flags/triggers for any transaction decision.

• Analysing of the key political, economic and legal challenges facing an industry.

• Providing 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 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.
