Financial and tax due diligence

We perform due diligence reviews to assist you with regulatory requirements, tax structuring and financial modeling. We also act as intermediaries in closing transactions and assist in finding prospective buyers and sellers.

Our expertise is not limited to the local market - if the potential business activity takes place internationally we draw on the resources of our associate companies around the world to offer you the best solution.

Listings

We assist with your company listing by planning the most appropriate corporate and capital structures in conjunction with other professional advisors. We issue the accountant's reports for a prospectus and ensure that you comply with the necessary regulations in a cost-effective manner.

Valuations

We perform numerous valuations of shares and businesses for various purposes. We also perform valuations for purchase price allocations and of derivative instruments such as options.
