Divestment
The divestment strategy is one of the primordial factors of value creation. The timing, understanding of one's environment, the justification of growth and profitability assumptions and the mobilising of the teams are all paramaters which can be used to optimise a transaction.
In that context, Equalis Capital intervenes before and in support of the transaction to:
- validate the business plan and justify the assumptions used (top line and bottom line)
- carry out vendor due diligences
- or an independent strategic review.
Development
In development or redeployment phases, companies are often confronted with situations which require strategic choices. Equalis Capital helps its clients decide on the allocation of resources among their various activities, choose between organic growth and external growth, know wether to focus on their core business or diversify, understand the position of a particular business unit in relation to its competitors, and identify and correct under-performance.
To find solutions to those questions, our clients can call on several types of specific engagements:
- competitive watch and benchmarking
- strategic audit and review of business portfolio
- strategic planning
- quantification and prioritisation of diversification options
- quantification of synergies in a merger/acquisition context.
Equalis Capital assists companies at the critical moments of value creation.
Whether the company is contemplating an acquisition, analysing and choosing a development option or preparing a divestment, our teams step in to provide our clients (investment funds, debt providers, private shareholders and management teams) with the objective and quantified analytical tools they need to make fundamental decisions in a constantly changing environment.
Each of our engagements rests on our teams' knowledge of the sector and impartial in-depth analysis of the current situation.
We have proven know-how and experience in carrying out engagements in tight timeframes and under considerable pressure, while abiding by the strictest confidentiality.
