How can the transaction be structured to maximise the benefits to my enterprise?
Using a third party to fund the transition and transformation part of the deal (T&T funding) has many and varied advantages.
What financial options are available to my enterprise to support the transaction?
Typical outsourcing transactions involve a degree of asset transfer and/or transformation and result in a situation whereby earlier months’ cash-flows are negative.
How will future regulations impact the operational risk on my B/S and in my contracts?
Increasingly, regulators are focusing not just on the directly regulated entity but moving to the regulation of the value chain: looking through the regulated entity to the suppliers.
How does outsourcing impact my VAT, tax, accounting and regulatory liabilities?
Services in general and outsourcing in particular are often not well understood and treated for VAT, tax, accounting and regulatory liabilities.
How do we identify and evaluate the right M&A and divestment opportunities?
Our services are designed to complement and add additional value and perspective to internal M&A teams, external legal advisors and specialist financiers throughout the lifetime of any deal.
How can I guarantee my outsourcing contract delivers on the results it promised?
Experience shows us that 30% of outsourcing deals today end in failure, and that 50% of outsourcing deals do not realise the expected benefits the transaction set out to achieve.
