Capital Advisory & M&A Services

Make Informed Decisions on Capital, Investments and Business Transactions

Capital raising, acquisitions, mergers and business restructuring are significant decisions that can have long-term financial and strategic implications.

Whether you are looking to raise capital, acquire a business, sell an existing business or evaluate a strategic transaction, you need a clear understanding of the financial position, risks, valuation and commercial implications involved.

VCH & Associates provides Capital Advisory and M&A Services to help businesses and stakeholders evaluate and navigate important financial and strategic transactions.

Our team provides financial analysis, transaction support and professional advisory services to help clients make informed decisions throughout the transaction lifecycle.

Our Capital Advisory & M&A Services

Businesses may require external capital to fund expansion, working capital, acquisitions or other strategic initiatives.

VCH assists businesses in evaluating their capital requirements and preparing for potential capital-raising transactions.

Our support can include:

• Assessing capital requirements
• Financial analysis
• Funding strategy
• Preparation of financial information
• Business and financial modelling
• Investor-related information
• Transaction support

Our objective is to help businesses approach potential funding opportunities with a well-structured financial proposition.

Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory

Mergers and acquisitions require careful evaluation of both the commercial opportunity and financial implications.

We support businesses through relevant stages of an M&A transaction, including:

• Transaction evaluation
• Financial analysis
• Due diligence support
• Valuation analysis
• Transaction structuring
• Financial modelling
• Negotiation support
• Post-transaction considerations

We work with business owners, management and other professional advisors to provide financial perspectives throughout the transaction process.

Financial Due Diligence

Before acquiring or investing in a business, it is important to understand its financial performance, financial position and potential risks.

Our financial due diligence support can involve reviewing:

• Historical financial performance
• Revenue and profitability trends
• Cost structures
• Working capital
• Cash flows
• Debt and liabilities
• Accounting practices
• Significant financial risks
• Quality of earnings

The objective is to help stakeholders identify important financial matters before completing a transaction.

Business Valuation

Understanding the value of a business is an important component of many transactions.

VCH assists businesses and stakeholders with valuation analysis for situations such as:

• Mergers and acquisitions
• Business sales
• Investment decisions
• Shareholder transactions
• Strategic planning
• Restructuring
• Capital raising

Our valuation approach considers relevant financial, commercial and business-specific factors applicable to the engagement.

Transaction Structuring

The structure of a transaction can have important financial, tax, regulatory and commercial implications.

We help clients evaluate potential transaction structures and understand the financial considerations associated with different approaches.

Where required, our transaction advisory can be coordinated with VCH’s tax, FEMA, transfer pricing and other professional services.

Buy-Side Advisory

If you are considering acquiring another business, independent financial analysis can help you evaluate the opportunity more effectively.

Our buy-side support can include:

• Initial financial assessment
• Target evaluation
• Financial due diligence
• Valuation analysis
• Transaction modelling
• Financial risk identification
• Transaction support

We help management understand the financial aspects of the target before making a major investment decision.

Sell-Side Advisory

Selling a business requires preparation, financial clarity and an understanding of the value and financial position of the business.

VCH can support business owners and stakeholders with:

• Financial preparation
• Business and financial analysis
• Valuation support
• Preparation of financial information
• Transaction support
• Due diligence preparation
• Coordination with other transaction advisors

Our objective is to help businesses approach the transaction with greater financial preparedness.

Post-Transaction Support

The completion of a transaction is not necessarily the end of the financial work.

Depending on the requirement, VCH can provide ongoing support following an acquisition, merger or restructuring through services such as accounting, tax, transfer pricing, FEMA, compliance and Virtual CFO services.

This allows businesses to access broader professional support as they integrate and manage their post-transaction operations.
