Whether undertaking due diligence for a potential acquisition, preparing a valuation report, assisting with an IPO or project managing a business divestment, our approach involves understanding your business, the industry in which you operate and the commercial and financial issues that confront you on a day to day basis.
Corporate transactions often require a team to be mobilised in action and providing results within tight timeframes. Our ability to do so means that you are able to make critical decisions efficiently, whilst maintaining focus on your business. Furthermore our RSMi global network enables us to provide all rounded, one-stop solutions to cross-border issues.
Our Transaction support services include:
Due Diligence
The due diligence process provides a detailed review of a target business from a financial, fiscal and commercial perspective, adding value by focusing on the key issues likely to affect the acquisition decision and the price.
Our Transaction Support Services team has a structured approach to gather, analyse, apply and deliver the information you need to assess and execute the deal. Our reports are issues focused, giving an in-depth understanding of critical areas and providing advice on key negotiation points and pricing considerations.
Our methodology encompasses the following main areas:
- Identification of the key issues necessary to pinpoint potential deal breakers and appreciate better the implications of the deal. This identification is also critical in enabling you to negotiate the final consideration to be paid for the business;
- Evaluation of the purchase price through a detailed review and appraisal of financial projections and the assumptions underpinning these projections;
- Assessment of the implications of the proposed transaction structure and the determination of alternative structures which may be more attractive from your perspective;
- Advising on the financial, taxation and commercial aspects of the transaction agreement. Such agreements often contain financial mechanisms and fiscal clauses which can impact upon the price. We work closely with your legal advisers to ensure that the final agreement includes the necessary protection that you require when buying a business.
Valuation Reports
Our methodology and clear reporting style provides clients with a detailed understanding of the key value drivers and assumptions that underpin our valuations. Furthermore, any commercial or financial risks identified during our valuation process are clearly communicated and considered in arriving at our conclusions.
Capital Market Support
RSM Malta and the RSM network have significant experience in advising on all aspects of capital markets transaction whether these relate to debt, equity or hybrid products. Our services may vary from a compliance role which includes the compilation of the Accountants Report included in the prospectus to a more active role that may include assistance in pricing and project managing the capital market transaction.
Mergers Acquisitions
Expanding your business is exciting and a merger or an acquisition is a thrilling and complicated endeavour. Our professionals have been through this process many times and have the requisite expertise to analyse all financial aspects of prospective investments and provide insightful advice.
We are large enough to offer local and international support yet small enough to provide a personalized service.
Financial Modelling
Financial models are crucial to enable organisations to assess the financial implications of commercial decisions with confidence.
The creation of a robust financial model is the cornerstone of accurate, informed and timely commercial decision making and forecasting. At RSM Malta we have extensive experience of building financial models that enable the identification of key value drivers and the assessment of key input variables.
Divestments
When you are selling your business, you need to find the right buyer and negotiate the right price. Determining the right price can be challenging when so much value is tied up in intangibles. Working with a team that has experience in locating prospective buyers and negotiating on behalf of both the buyer and the seller can be a very valuable partnership.
