Optimise your M&A and carve-out transactions

M&A transactions, especially carve-out deals, are complex, particularly when cross-border integration is required. As you integrate the new business infrastructure, you must consider cost, scalability and operational efficiency. This creates an opportunity to redesign and consolidate your back-office structure, eliminating inefficiencies, improving workflows and aligning with new strategic goals.

Additionally, establishing a new global entity footprint across multiple jurisdictions adds layers of regulatory and compliance complexity. Our in-depth understanding of local requirements on a global level allows us to help you optimise the process.

We specialise in executing practical solutions to complicated problems, providing expertise in global compliance to get your post-deal entities up and running quickly. We offer all essential administrative services under one roof, including entity management, HR administration, payroll, accounting, bookkeeping, tax compliance and escrow services.


M&A services

Pre-deal carve-out support
Prepare for day one operational readiness with our pre-deal carve-out support, including establishing legal entities, setting up financial and HR systems and maintaining compliance.

With global reach and local expertise, we help you transition smoothly from corporate parent to standalone entity. Our pre-deal carve-out support services are designed to eliminate the administrative burden of the many individual processes involved in a carve-out while helping you stay compliant throughout.

  • Escrow agent services: we temporarily hold the assets of the transaction for both parties until the terms of the deal have been met.
  • Entity health check: we audit, measure and make recommendations about the health of key business functions such as finance, legal compliance, HR and payroll.
  • Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) setup and lifecycle management: we seamlessly manage your SPVs with our flexible, end-to-end solutions.
Incorporation and operational readiness
Achieve full compliance and day one readiness for your carved-out entities with our end-to-end incorporation and operational support.

Incorporating legal entities across multiple jurisdictions during mergers and acquisitions can be challenging. Our local experts will guide you through the entity formation process and provide ongoing post-incorporation support.

  • Incorporation: access to local experts to incorporate your entities in 87 countries.
  • Operational readiness: includes local company registrations and business licensing, bank account opening, direct and indirect tax registrations and payroll registrations, as well as directorship services to support through to deal completion.
Post-deal administration services
Manage your carved-out entities seamlessly with our post-deal administration services, including ongoing compliance, finance, payroll and operational support.

A key aspect of a successful M&A or carve-out transaction is how well the new entity operates after the deal is concluded. We provide a full suite of managed services to support your new structure.
