Transaction support refers to a suite of professional services provided to companies (buyers or sellers) engaged in business transactions - acquisitions, sales, mergers, divestitures, or corporate restructurings.
In the dynamic business environment of Dubai and the UAE, transaction support is critical to uncover potential risks, validate value, structure deals properly, and ensure transparency and compliance. Without robust transaction support, a deal may suffer from hidden liabilities, over- or under-valuation, inefficient structure or unexpected tax/operational complications.
Our Transaction Support Services are designed to guide clients through every stage of a transaction - from initial assessment and due diligence to deal structuring, negotiation, and post-transaction integration.
We offer a comprehensive, end-to-end package for businesses in Dubai/UAE. Our core offerings include:
Initial diagnostics and business assessment: analyzing business operations, financials, corporate structure, value drivers, cost structure, revenue model. This helps in understanding real business value and potential risks.
Valuation support: assisting in preparation or review of business valuation, financial modelling, scenario analysis, assessment of fair market value, including sensitivity analysis, break-even points, and business-driver dependencies.
Financial due diligence: deep examination of financial statements, cash flow, debt and assets, contingencies, accounting policies - to verify accuracy, identify hidden liabilities or risks, and validate the financial health of the target business.
Operational and commercial due diligence: review of business processes, cost structure, supply chains, contracts, operational risks - to ensure the business is sustainable, scalable, and free from operational or regulatory surprises.
Legal and compliance review (if required): working in coordination with legal advisors to verify corporate structure, ownership, licenses, regulatory compliance - ensuring that the transaction is legally sound and regulatory/risk exposures are identified in advance.
Advice on optimal deal structure (asset vs share purchase, earn-outs, deferred payments, warranties, indemnities, etc.) to minimize tax, legal, operational and financial risks, while maximizing return and value retention.
Negotiation support: assisting with negotiation strategy, term sheet preparation, SPA / Transaction Document review, deal terms, warranties - ensuring that terms reflect fair value and protect client’s interests.
Financial forecasting and business plan review: projecting future performance, assessing post-deal scenarios, synergy potential (if merger), or integration costs (if acquisition) - to support informed decision-making.
For sellers (“business seller transaction support”): preparing the business for sale - optimizing financials, cleaning up records, preparing documentation, addressing potential risk factors or operational inefficiencies, packaging the business for sale to maximize its attractiveness and value to prospective buyers.
For buyers: comprehensive due diligence, valuation, risk assessment, structuring advice - to ensure your investment is sound, price is justified, and you understand liabilities, operational challenges, and future obligations.
Assistance with post-transaction integration: financial consolidation, restructuring, aligning business processes, operational controls, management reporting - smoothing transition and ensuring synergy realization.
