Mergers & Acquisitions
Loizou & Co’s team have had extensive experience in dealing with complex cross-border transactions and are well placed to become regional market leaders in M&A and Strategic Advisory. Our strong foundation allows for us to facilitate clients transactional needs.
Our Offering
Not only do we identify potential targets or merger partners, we highlight financial and strategic alternatives, providing a flexible and efficient service. We offer advice across all M&A and strategic assignments, including but not limited to public mergers and takeovers, business disposals and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and fairness opinions.
Working in partnership with either governmental bodies or international bidders, we offer a targeted advisory service in running or participating in privatisation. Our services run throughout the whole process, starting with the sale of existing shares and seeking the commitment of additional capital by new investors, to board support and the bidding process.
Through the optimisation of business portfolios, we help clients maximize the value of their corporate assets. The combination of our fundamentals-up approach and a keen understanding of the market allows us to successfully track and place new spinoff ventures. This ensures profitable solutions for all stakeholders as well as the long-term viability of new independent companies.
Loizou & Co seeks to minimise business disruptions, accelerate the closing process and realise value for clients. Our advisory services extend to sales and auctions in both distressed and strategic situations. We are also able to provide assistance in unusual divestitures such as carve-outs, recapitalisations, or split-offs.
Loizou & Co’s advisory services have strong preventative and response strategies to all unsolicited activity, such as hostile takeovers or activist campaigns. Not only do we carefully analyse a company’s defensive profile, but along with our M&A and valuation practices, our expert advisors provide a comprehensive offering in all takeover-related activity.
