A more diligent approach

Article Abstract:

The process of due diligence is being altered by changes within the acquisition market, such as the growing number of auctioned cross-border disposals and the increasingly complex deal structures. Some advisers are adapting their services to meet the changing needs and are offering a multi-disciplinary service incorporating areas such as legal support, tax structuring and due diligence. Due diligence allows the buyer to identify areas for exit acceleration and value enhancement, while the process in cross-border deals includes analysing the basis of the accounting data.

The rise and rise of the institutional buyout

Article Abstract:

Institutional buyouts have become increasingly popular since 1995. The success of management buyouts have encouraged business vendors to work directly with institutions over deal finance arrangements. Company shareholders are more likely to accept institutional buyers because they offer prices equivalent to trade purchasers. Venture capitalists often drive the institutional buyout because they have plentiful funds. The advantages of institutional buyouts in comparison to management buyouts are discussed.
