Transaction Services
Our Methodology
Using KPMG's proprietary Intelligence for Successful Transactions, our multidisciplinary transaction teams can substantially enhance your probability of success by:
Mergers and acquisitions
Strategic mergers are an increasingly important method for businesses to achieve corporate objectives. KPMG has in-depth experience of working with clients who are undertaking significant corporate mergers. Our transaction methodology helps ensure that client issues, risk areas and deal breakers such as integration issues are identified as early on as possible to enable deal success and the subsequent delivery of shareholder value.
Disposals/Demergers
With increasing focus in the marketplace on creation of shareholder value, KPMG’s methodologies enable us to advise clients on which corporate entity should be disposed of and choose the correct method to implement the particular transaction. In many instances the disposal will generate a series of activities which are generically described as vendor assist services by us together with cell mandate work for our corporate finance business.
IPOs
Whether raising finance, profile or providing a market for your shares are key business objectives, extensive research and meticulous planning are vital in order to undertake a successful IPO. KPMG helps ensure a smooth flotation process by focusing on key issues, using focused teams.
Joint ventures and strategic alliances
Joint ventures and strategic alliances are increasingly seen as the quickest and safest route for growing internationally, gaining global economies of scale or improving cost competitiveness. More often than not, however, the performance falls short of their objective. KPMG’s methodologies, based around the techniques used for integration, helps ensure that those entering into these types of arrangements maximize the benefits for themselves by clear management of the exercise on creation, execution and exit.
Privatization
Assisting governments and often quasi government organizations to prepare entities to enter the commercial world both in terms of the business issues and change management which have to be undertaken. In addition, our multidisciplinary team plays an important part in transforming organizations ahead of the deadline.
Project and Structured Finance
Obtaining finance which prices risk correctly is key to enhancing shareholder value. Project and structured finance techniques can be used to reduce the weighted average cost of capital of projects/acquisitions, giving you a better chance of winning deals. KPMG can help identify separable assets and cash flows which are attractive to lenders, structure the deal to sanitize the cashflows, carry out the due diligence which minimizes the financier’s uncertainty about the deal and identify financing sources.
Private equity
Private equity provides long-term, committed share capital, to help unquoted companies grow and succeed. Obtaining private equity is very different from raising debt or a loan from a lender, such as a bank. Lenders have a legal right to obtain interest on a loan and repayment of capital, irrespective of whether a business succeeds or fails. Private equity is interested in exchange for a stake in your company and, as shareholders, the investors’ returns are dependent on the growth and profitability of the business. The term venture capital is used in the USA to refer to investments in early stage and expanding companies. The term is becoming increasingly used in Europe too.
Mergers and acquisition activity has never been higher because of:
Increasing pace of globalization
Industry consolidation
Technological advances.
You feel the pressure from peers, the media, and the financial markets to do the deal before it’s too late. Yet according to a KPMG study, 83 percent of recent deals failed to deliver shareholder value. And 53 percent actually destroyed value. The reason? Too much focus on closing a deal. Too little focus on ensuring its success. KPMG’s Transaction Services provides merger and acquisition support by placing a strong emphasis on stakeholder value and identifying key risks and benefits early on.
