Corporate Finance and Advisory Services

indconsulting Corporate Finance provides focused financial consulting services to a broad spectrum of local enterprises, in both the private and public sector.

Renowned for service excellence, our reputation for providing the highest quality objective, confidential and timely service is something we pride ourselves on. This fine reputation has been achieved and is constantly enhanced by concentrating on two key factors: firstly, our network of high calibre, dedicated professionals trained at national and international levels.

In offering corporate finance services, we utilise the latest financial management tools and techniques. Our success flows from our strong belief that professional advisors must have a deep understanding of the spectrum of challenges posed by an ever-changing business environment. Our corporate finance services focus on the following key areas:

Solvency and Investigations

Banks, holding companies or other interested parties ask for solvency investigations when it appears that a major financial crisis is imminent. These investigations can take the form of:

  • Assessment of future profitability and cash requirements and advice on overall or specific functional areas with the aim of improving cash management
  • Viability studies to assess whether an operation can be revived and, if not, the available options
  • Management reviews to improve operating performance

Once recommendations are accepted and implemented, we provide a monitoring role to review progress.

Corporate Recovery Services  

Running a business is challenging whatever the economic climate. The legislation and practices surrounding corporate insolvencies are diverse and can be difficult to interpret, with different rules applying to each type of insolvency proceeding. Corporate recovery offers a broad portfolio of services to stakeholders of troubled businesses.

We place emphasis on the implementation and rationalisation recovery programs designed to rebuild value. Our business recovery specialists diagnose the financial well being of a company, pinpoint problem areas and recommend a plan to restore profitability.

The Corporate Recovery Services team advises on and implements rationalisations and turnarounds of underperforming companies as well as other formal insolvency procedures. Our professional experts in matters relating to insolvency offer a range of services including:

Receiverships

Our main role as a receiver is to recover a lender’s secured debt. After ensuring the assets of a business are safeguarded, the first step is to decide whether debts can best be recovered by continuing all, or a part, of the operations. This requires a swift and searching appraisal of the financial position and projections.

If continuation is justified, we take management responsibility for recovering debts through trading or, more often, through selling all or part of the operation as a going concern. If continuation is not viable, debts are recovered as far as possible through sale of business assets.

Liquidations

We can formally wind up a company to repay creditors and shareholders. We find out what the company’s assets and liabilities are, continue trading temporarily if it is beneficial to winding up, and make arrangements for the realisation of assets and payment of creditors and shareholders.

By acting as Receiver or Liquidator, we provide services in the following areas:

  • Corporate care, crisis management, reorganisation and capital restructuring
  • Security cover analysis and viability reviews
  • Credit control and debt recovery advice
  • Creditor representation at meetings
  • Liquidity investigations and monitoring of businesses
  • Planning and managing schemes of arrangement
  • Employee redundancy and counselling
  • Examinations and receiverships
  • Voluntary and court liquidations

Merger and Acquisition Support

The merger and acquisition process is both complex and time consuming. indconsulting Corporate Finance provides specialist advice and support to assist in the following key processes:

Business Valuations:

Valuation is an essential part of almost all corporate transactions and planning. However, determining the value of a business requires knowledge of many factors, both financial and strategic. Our firm has been a key player in the valuation of businesses arising from mergers and acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures, and corporate restructuring.

Due Diligence Investigations:

The primary purpose of a due diligence investigation is to eliminate a degree of risk from a proposed merger or an acquisition. The investigation involves assessing the benefits and potential pitfalls of a proposed acquisition by focusing on key issues, such as those likely to affect the price or cause post acquisition difficulties. The scope of work is always determined in conjunction with our client. Together, we ensure that all commercial, financial and regulatory issues are covered.

We have undertaken assignments involving due diligence investigations for privatisation, IPOs, acquisition or merger as part of an overall business strategy, and opportunities for capital enhancement.

Financial Feasibility Studies

We have developed considerable expertise in carrying out feasibility studies for clients in every key economic sector of the regional economy. Our marketing feasibility studies focus on the current market size, competition, pricing, critical success factors and likely trends and demands. Financial feasibility study provides clients with an understanding of the potential financial and operating risks of the project, and gives a clear perspective of the financial viability. The study, in form of detailed business plans or information memorandum, can also be used to assist in raising finance/capital.

Shareholder Enhancement Programme

With our unique blend of business and transaction expertise, we can help achieve critical objectives by providing the following value enhancing services:

Corporate Finance Advisory Services

We offer clients financial advice that enables them to make informed decisions as to the optimal use of their financial resources and in their bid to maximise shareholders wealth.

Capital Raising

As professional business advisors, we offer advice on various ways of raising finance using traditional and innovative financing instruments and institutions.

Capital Restructuring

We offer professional advice in the restructuring of companies/groups including the identification of targets for disposal or acquisition, debt and financial restructuring and the introduction of an innovative approach to suppliers and customers.

Privatisation

With the ongoing privatisation of government related entities and enterprises across the region, our firm is uniquely placed, using our global resources and local understanding, to provide technical support to government agencies as well as private sector investors. We have been a key player in the valuation of government and state enterprise shares that are slated for divestiture and in managing the privatisation process.

Our involvement in this process includes:

  • Financial reviews and account preparation
  • Due diligence
  • Business valuations
  • Financial restructuring
  • Developing privatization strategies
  • Preparation of information memorandums and other bid documents
