Transaction Advisory & M&A
Independent due diligence, valuation, and transaction advisory for investors, lenders, private equity firms, and corporate acquirers.
Complex transactions require more than a review of the numbers. BFAG brings together due diligence, valuation, M&A advisory, and transaction expertise to give investors and decision-makers a clear view of the business, its underlying value, and the risks that matter. From assessing financial performance and value drivers to supporting negotiations and deal execution, we turn complex information into actionable insight.
How we deliver this service
Every engagement is tailored to the transaction, business, and decisions at hand, combining focused information review, detailed analysis, and actionable transaction support.
- Scoping & Data Room:We start by understanding the transaction, the business, and the decisions that need to be made. We define the scope, establish the key areas of focus, and organize the financial and business information required for an efficient and targeted review.
- Due Diligence & Analysis:We go beyond reviewing historical numbers. Our team examines earnings quality, working capital, cash flows, business performance, and the underlying commercial and operational drivers, while assessing relevant risks and inconsistencies. We challenge key assumptions, investigate areas that require deeper review, and distinguish between issues that could affect value, deal terms, or future performance.
- Findings, Valuation & Deal Support:We bring the analysis together into clear, decision-ready conclusions. Our findings help clients understand what matters, where value lies, and where risks may require attention. Where relevant, we support valuation, negotiations, deal structuring, purchase price considerations, and transaction execution through closing.
