M&A transaction services

Accompanying the internationalization and diversification of business, the items which need to be investigated in M&A are also becoming wide-ranging. Also, along with the increase in tender offers, more careful investigations than heretofore have come to be demanded at the time of the acquisition. Not only at the time of acquisition, there is no difference in the necessity for careful preparation at the time of the sale as well.

In our M&A transaction services we make maximum use of experts in each area and of the Deloitte global network to support effective decision-making through apt information collection and analysis. 

Features

1. Provision of efficient and effective services based on a wealth of achievements

In M&A there are many cases where speedy execution is demanded due to the various circumstances of the buyer and seller. Thus, it is not an exaggeration to say that what holds the key to success or failure is how much analysis can be drawn out under restrictions on both time and the volume of information. Deloitte provides effective services based on vast experience and a proven track record.

2. A group of experts capable of handling a diverse business sectors

Significant differences in the results arise when, even though undertaking the same service, the service provider has a depth of knowledge in the industry and when it does not. Against the backdrop of a diverse customer base as leading accounting firm, in Deloitte we have gathered together professionals who have knowledge in diverse industries. Deloitte has an array of experts, not only in accounting and tax affairs, but also in consulting in areas such as business strategy, human resources, IT, etc. and is able to comprehensively provide high quality services.

3. Global network

Within a business environment of increasing internationalization, needs for cross-border M&A services crossing national boundaries just keeps growing. Deloitte makes maximum use of Deloitte global network spanning the whole world to timely respond to the internationalized needs in a one-stop format which includes the execution of local investigations.

4. Provision of neutral and objective services

Deloitte utilizes the special characteristics of an auditing firm affiliate and provides services from a third-party position without a vested interest. As a result of this, it is easier to stimulate a sense of agreement between the parties to negotiations. We also provide advice from an objective perspective in respect to a decision-making process in which “M&A for its own sake” is often propelled forward.
