How Do You Benefit From Utilizing an M&A Advisory Service?

This is because employees often need to notice more apparent facts. After all, they are in a constant cycle of solving current problems.
Here is the list of actions an M&A advisory service can do for you:
- Conducting due diligence – checking the legal, financial, tax, and economic components (legal verification of the company’s assets, legal audit: tax liabilities, pending litigation, debts to counterparties, encumbrances on the property, etc.).
- Preparation of documentation for acquisition of assets/shares – documentation of takeover and merger transactions.
- Development of a purchase structure using option agreements (that is, until a certain point, there is an opportunity to buy more shares at a price set in the contract).
- Support of M&A transactions.
- Changing the management structure of the company (for example, the introduction of the board of directors, the supervisory board, the creation of committees, and the separation of powers between them).
- Creation and modification of company statutes and shareholder agreements between participants.
- Registration of the actual transfer of fate in state bodies.
- Transaction approval from antimonopoly services, if applicable (if companies that occupy a significant market share merge).
- The experience of industry specialists allows for competition and prompts to solve any issues related to merging, accession, and other forms of association of legal entities.
- Post-accompanying: Usually, the role of consultants continues after signing all transaction documents and taking the necessary actions (including registration).
