Advisory Services
Management Advisors services include the provision of traditional corporate advisory services including capital raising, growth management, merger & acquisitions, and divestments strategies. We leverage off our strategy and management experience to best apply financial and human capital to our Client’s business requirements. We have developed specific turn key programmes to deliver our advisory services.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and Acquisitions are a core component of Management Advisors’ business. Our team has extensive experience in initiating, sourcing and negotiating transactions to completion. Expansion by acquisition and merging operations with suitable partners represent a key component of our merger and acquisition business.
We can assist with the financial analysis, merger planning, vendor price negotiations, due diligence, and contract negotiation through to completion. Once completed Management Advisors can also assist with the merger integration.
Divestments
Divesting subsidiaries and selling entities in order to realise a return of equity to shareholders represents an important part of the Management Advisors business.
With this programme Management Advisors works with the shareholders and management to understand the earnings performance of the business, the strategic and operational issues, and savings potential that may impact on the business performance and perceived value. With this knowledge Management Advisors will implement the remainder of the programme to deliver fair business value to the client.
We can also manage the bid party due diligence process through facilitating the use of Online Data Room services.
Equity / Debt Structuring & Arranging
Management Advisors has many years of investment banking experience which enables us to contact our large network of providers of finance and capital to successfully identify the appropriate investor and financier for any transaction.
Our capital structure and funding programme can be used to drive business growth and is typically targeted at businesses that can rapidly lift revenue and earnings performance or have a need to recapitalise their balance sheet.
We work with the business shareholders and management to understand the earnings potential of the business, the strategic and operational issues that are impacting on business growth, financial and human.
Management Buyout & Buy-in
Do you manage a ‘growth business’? Do you have the capital to drive your business to the next level of development? Do you need executive management support and funding? Do you need to grow your market or acquire a new business? Is your business a cash cow or does it need to strengthen its balance sheet?
Management Advisors has developed a MBO/MBI programme typically targeted at business divisions of listed companies that are no longer regarded as core assets and stand alone businesses that we can match to existing investments held by high net worth individuals and venture capital funds.
With this programme we complete a detailed strategic review of the business to understand the earnings potential of the business, the strategic and operational issues that are impacting on business performance, capital and human resource requirements to deliver better performance to improve the business condition. We can also facilitate the due diligence process by assisting with the utilisation of an Online Data Room service.
Management Advisors can also take an investment position with the business.
Strategic Review
Management Advisors has developed a strategic review process to understand the earnings performance of the business, the strategic and operational issues, and change potential that can impact on business performance and perceived value. Once completed we work with the shareholders and management to prepare a detailed strategic plan for the business.
Management Advisors can also include a strategy workshop for shareholders and senior management.
Preparation for Sale
Management Advisors recognise that some businesses are not in the best condition when decisions are made to sell them.
This programme has been designed to enable management to understand the earnings potential of the divestment business and to implement short-term enhancements to prepare the divestment for sale. Often private companies do not fully separate their private accounting from their business requiring a review of the company’s balance sheet to ensure that only business activities are reported.
We work with management on a fee for service basis to develop the best approach to delivering the business potential, profit during a given time frame for divestment delivery. We can also manage any restructuring requirements and the divestment process.
Pre-Funding Review
Management Advisors can undertake pre-funding reviews to comply with lending institution requirements. This ensures that the acquisition target’s business systems and procedures are compatible and will not threaten the company post acquisition.
These reviews typically consider the targets internal systems, operating platform, compliance and licensing procedures (where applicable), and the IT/MIS in use within the business.
Governance issues are reviewed through the management and organisational structure and decision-making processes. Income mix of the business and gross profit margin is also considered.
