Who handles the legal documents in a deal?
We empanel and coordinate a qualified legal team to review NDAs, Share Purchase Agreements and all transaction documentation.
Do you work with startups?
Yes. High-growth startups are one of our three client groups. Our work for them includes pre-feasibility studies, financial modelling and capital structuring, and fundraising mandates.
How are mid-market companies valued in an acquisition?
Buyers usually combine a discounted cash flow, multiples of comparable listed companies and multiples from similar past deals, then adjust for size, growth, customer concentration and debt. See our guide on valuation for the full explanation.
How do I choose between equity, debt and a private placement?
Choose by what the money is for and what you can give up. Debt keeps ownership but needs steady cash flow, equity shares ownership and risk, and a private placement offers securities to a select group of investors under specific company-law rules.
What happens in due diligence?
Financial diligence tests profit, margins, revenue concentration, order pipeline and working capital. Commercial diligence tests customers, capabilities, people and partners. Legal diligence runs alongside.
How long does a buyout take?
There is no fixed timeline. Mid-market deals commonly take several months, depending on how ready the seller is, how complex the structure is and which approvals are needed.
How should an Indian company enter the GCC?
Choose by speed, control, capital and local knowledge. A joint venture shares risk, an acquisition buys an existing business, and a greenfield entry gives full control but is slowest. Rules differ by country.
What is an information memorandum?
The detailed document given to serious investors after they sign an NDA. It sets out the business, market, financials, forecast, management and the proposed transaction.
Who leads the firm?
Vivek Suman, CFA, is the Founder and Managing Director. He is a finance leader with 20+ years of experience in strategic finance, fundraising and IPOs, and a former executive at Grant Thornton, LML and NEC.
