      Frequently Asked Questions

      We work exclusively with mid-market companies with annual revenue AED 40 million above and visionary business leaders who understand the value of strategic preparation and are willing to invest in premium and boutique M&A consulting services. Our engagements are based on retainers and are best suited to clients seeking meaningful, long-term outcomes.

      Our typical clients typically include:

      • Established Businesses with annual revenue of at-least AED 40 million
      • High-Growth Companies with valuation above AED 50 million
      • Corporate Groups looking to divest non-core assets
      • Investors & Family Offices planning structured exits

      While our consulting services can significantly enhance your M&A readiness and strategic position, we do not replace the need for licensed financial, legal, or tax advisors. We often work alongside other advisors as part of a broader deal team.

      We guide you through the entire journey — from valuation and packaging a growth story to documentation support, due diligence support, and transaction support.

      Most business sales take between 6–24 months, depending on deal complexity, industry dynamics, buyer interest, and other variables.

      We act as your Management Consultant throughout the journey. Our support includes:

      • Defining Your Objectives – Exit, fundraise, or partial sale
      • Assessing Readiness – Strategy, commercial, operations, and structure
      • Crafting the Deal Story – Highlighting value and differentiation
      • Identifying Buyers/Investors – Preparing investor documentation and buyer universe
      • Negotiation & Transaction Support & Consultancy – Supporting Q&A, LOIs, and due diligence

      Our team comprises of former investment bankers, corporate strategists, and private equity professionals. We bring deep transactional experience across the MENAP, having advised on capital raises, buy-side transactions, and strategic divestments.

      For buy-side mandates, we provide strategic consulting to identify suitable acquisition targets, conduct preliminary commercial due diligence, evaluate synergies to ensure alignment, and define strategies that are aligned with your investment goals.

      We support our clients in cross-border M&A. Our team understands the cultural nuances of regional deals and works closely with your team of advisors to deliver effective outcomes.

      Negotiation support is a key part of M&A Consulting services. We guide our clients through deal structuring, valuation discussions, term sheet reviews, and LOI assessments, all from a consulting and preparation standpoint on a best effort basis with no guarantees of success.

      Absolutely! Negotiation is a critical aspect of M&A transactions, and our team will be right by your side to negotiate favorable terms, whether you’re selling or acquiring.
