Corporate finance

Challenges
In the aftermath of the financial crisis, PSF are closely following their profitability while questioning their business positioning, spurred by client behaviour, regulatory requirements and political voices.
In these circumstances, it can make sense to enhance economies of scale through the acquisition of selected PSF or client portfolios. Alternatively, some PSF may also decide to refocus their activities by selling one or more business lines, or client portfolios.
In these situations, it is of key importance to work with a trusted partner who masters all the different steps in the corporate finance value chain while combining local market knowledge with a global network. The Deloitte corporate finance team blends mergers & acquisitions skills gained in the PSF & banking industries with the culture and traditional skills of a leading professional services firm.
Deloitte services offering
Deloitte provides companies with a broad range of services to respond to a fast and ever-changing environment:
- Mergers & acquisitions, strategic alliances
As buy-side advisors, we will assist you in the selection of the most appropriate targets. We will approach the shareholders of the targets on your behalf and work with you towards the conclusion of an acquisition of joint-venture agreement. As sell-side advisors, we will compile an information memorandum and identify the most likely acquirers, which we will contact (initially on the basis of a teaser) following your approval. We will assist you in the whole transaction, up to the signing of the sale and purchase agreement (for a legal entity or an activity/portfolio).
- Due diligence
In connection with a planned transaction (acquisition or joint venture), our teams will be pleased to assist you in your due diligence efforts. We typically work in close cooperation with our tax department, strategy & operations, human capital, entreprise risk services etc. to complement the accounting and financial due diligence. Thanks to our multidisciplinary service offer, Deloitte can provide the most comprehensive due diligence services in Luxembourg under a one-stop-shop approach. The same teams can also be mandated for vendor due diligences, where an independent due diligence report is compiled on behalf of a seller, in order to facilitate transactions.
