Merger and Acquisition Advisory

M&A advisory covers financial due diligence, valuation and deal support for buying or selling a business. On the buy side the objective is finding what the seller has not volunteered before the price is fixed. On the sell side it is presenting a defensible set of numbers so the buyer’s findings do not reopen the negotiation.

Financial due diligence

We test quality of earnings, normalise for one-off and related-party items, examine working capital requirements, and identify undisclosed liabilities, contingent exposures and tax risk.

The output is a report you can price from, not a summary of the accounts you were already given.

Valuation

Valuation is only useful when the assumptions are explicit and defensible. We set out the basis, the comparables where relevant, and the sensitivities that actually move the answer.

Frequently asked questions

What is financial due diligence?
An independent examination of a target company’s financial position and performance, focused on the quality and sustainability of earnings, the true working capital requirement, and liabilities or tax exposures not evident from the accounts.
How is a business valued in Qatar?
Common approaches are earnings multiples benchmarked to comparable transactions, discounted cash flow where forecasts are reliable, and net asset value for asset-heavy businesses. The appropriate method depends on the sector and the quality of the forecast information.
What is quality of earnings?
Quality of earnings assesses how much of reported profit is recurring and sustainable, stripping out one-off gains, related-party arrangements and accounting choices that flatter the result. It is usually the single most important output of buy-side diligence.
How long does due diligence take?
For a mid-sized private company with reasonable records, three to six weeks from data room access to a final report. Incomplete records are the usual cause of delay.
