Deal structuring
How you buy matters as much as what you pay. We structure the acquisition across its tax and legal dimensions, so the deal is sound, financeable and protects you well beyond closing.
Tax aspects
Share deal versus asset deal, holding structure, financing and interest deductibility, capital-gains exposure and the most efficient route to ownership.
Legal aspects
Acquisition vehicle, share purchase agreement, representations and warranties, shareholder arrangements and the protections that secure your position.
Fee structure
Two ways to align our interests with yours
Every acquisition is different. Some clients prefer a traditional advisory fee structure, while others choose a more entrepreneurial approach that aligns our long-term interests with theirs.
We therefore offer two engagement models.
Fixed-Fee Advisory
One clear fee per phase, agreed upfront
Our engagement is structured around the five phases of your acquisition. Each phase carries a fixed, pre-agreed fee, so your advisory costs are fully predictable from day one. You only move to the next phase when you decide to.
- Complete fee predictability
- No incentive to overpay
- Freedom to walk away from the wrong deal
- Full control at every stage
- Capital committed progressively
Advisory Shares
Retainer + Equity Participation
On selected transactions, we invest alongside our clients by taking a portion of our fees in equity.
We become a minority shareholder alongside you and participate in the value we help create over time.
- Maximum alignment of interests
- Demonstrates our conviction
- Long-term partnership
- Focus on future success
- Reduced cash outlay
