Corporate Finance & Transactions
Valuation, capital raising, transaction structuring and restructuring — advised with the financial rigour that a transaction, once executed, cannot easily be reversed.
Overview
A transaction is decided in the numbers — and defended in the documentation.
Valuations, fundraising, acquisitions, demergers and restructuring all rest on financial information that must be accurate, consistently presented and defensible to the counterparty, the lender, the regulator and the board.
Our corporate finance practice supports businesses and promoters across the transaction lifecycle — from initial valuation and capital structuring to due diligence, negotiation support and post-transaction integration of financial reporting. Scope is documented, and positions are prepared to withstand the scrutiny that a material transaction attracts.
What We Cover
Seven transaction and advisory workstreams.
Select a service to see scope, deliverable and how it applies to your business.
01 · Valuation & Business Advisory
Valuation built on method, evidence and stated assumptions.
A valuation is only as credible as the methodology behind it. Whether prepared for a transaction, a regulatory filing, a tax matter or an internal capital decision, the valuation must be defensible to a counterparty, regulator or reviewing authority.
We prepare and review valuations using accepted methodologies — income, market and cost approaches — with the underlying assumptions documented and the conclusions reconciled across methods.
- Business and enterprise valuation for transactions and reporting
- Valuation of shares, intangibles and financial instruments
- Valuation for regulatory, tax and RBI/FEMA purposes
- Purchase price allocation and fair value analysis
- Assumption documentation and sensitivity analysis
02 · Capital Advisory & Fund Raising
Capital structure and fund raising, prepared for the investor conversation.
Raising capital is as much a documentation exercise as a financial one. Investors and lenders expect a coherent financial narrative — historical performance, projections, capital structure, and the use of proceeds — that holds up to scrutiny during diligence.
We support businesses through the fundraising process: preparing the financial materials, advising on capital structure, coordinating diligence responses and helping management frame the financial case for the raise.
- Capital structure advisory — debt, equity and hybrid instruments
- Preparation of financial information for investor and lender discussions
- Financial projections and use-of-proceeds documentation
- Due diligence coordination and data room support
- Advisory on valuation and share pricing for the round
03 · Transaction Advisory
Financial due diligence and transaction advice, before the terms are fixed.
Financial due diligence is where a transaction's assumptions are tested against its numbers. Quality of earnings, working capital normality, debt-like items and one-off adjustments are the questions that determine whether the headline price survives closing.
We support acquirers, investors and sellers through the diligence process — testing earnings quality, reviewing working capital and identifying items that should be reflected in the price or the completion mechanics.
- Financial due diligence — quality of earnings and sustainable EBITDA
- Working capital analysis and normalisation
- Debt-like item and cash-free/debt-free analysis
- Transaction structure and completion mechanics advisory
- Financial support during negotiation of price and terms
04 · Corporate Restructuring & Reorganisation Advisory
Restructuring the group to fit the business as it now stands.
As businesses grow, holding structures, related-party arrangements and entity boundaries often drift from the commercial reality. Restructuring realigns the group — for tax efficiency, governance clarity, lender requirements or succession.
We advise on restructuring schemes under the Companies Act and related frameworks, prepare the financial and valuation support for the scheme, and coordinate with legal and tax counsel through implementation.
- Group structure review and restructuring design
- Scheme of arrangement, merger and amalgamation support
- Valuation and share exchange ratio advisory
- Financial documentation for NCLT and regulatory filings
- Post-restructuring integration and reporting alignment
05 · Transaction Execution & Negotiation Support
Financial support during negotiation, signing and closing.
The gap between agreeing a headline price and executing the transaction is where most of the financial value sits — in the working capital adjustment, the completion accounts, the earn-out mechanics and the representations that survive closing.
We support management and their counsel during the negotiation and execution phase — reviewing the financial terms of the deal, modelling completion adjustments and assisting with the closing mechanics.
- Review of financial terms in transaction documents
- Completion accounts and working capital adjustment modelling
- Earn-out and deferred consideration structuring support
- Closing mechanics and funds flow analysis
- Post-closing financial support and dispute assistance
06 · Demergers, Divestments & Strategic Sale Advisory
Separating or exiting a business line — cleanly and at the right value.
Divesting a business line, demerging a division or selling a controlling stake each require their own financial architecture: standalone financial statements, carve-out valuation, capital allocation documentation and regulatory filings.
We support sellers and groups through demerger schemes and strategic sale processes — preparing the standalone financial information, valuation support and the documentation that buyers and regulators expect.
- Carve-out financial statements and standalone modelling
- Demerger scheme financial and valuation support
- Strategic sale process preparation and information memoranda
- Valuation of the divested business line
- Regulatory documentation for demerger and sale filings
07 · Transaction Evaluation
An independent view before the transaction is committed.
A transaction that looks attractive at the proposal stage often needs an independent financial evaluation — whether the assumptions hold, whether the returns justify the risk, and whether the structure is the right one for the business.
We provide transaction evaluation support to boards, promoters and investors — reviewing the financial case, modelling returns, testing the assumptions and preparing the internal documentation that supports the decision.
- Financial evaluation of proposed transactions
- Return modelling and scenario analysis
- Assumption testing and sensitivity analysis
- Board-level evaluation notes and decision support
- Comparison of alternatives and recommended structure
