Overview
Acuity Analytics has over 18 years’ experience in providing end-to-end support to corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) teams of global conglomerates and Fortune 500 companies. We support them as an extension of their teams, offering timely and accurate insights, valuations and due diligence to keep them in the lead.
We help clients at each step of an M&A lifecycle. Our high-level screening and analysis helps locate ‘below-the-radar’ investment targets with attractive growth or value dynamics. We deep dive into areas of interest and conduct preliminary operational and commercial due diligence analysis to enable clients to better evaluate the investment/acquisition under consideration.
Our benchmarking processes and detailed cash flow, expense and valuation models assist our clients in maintaining a close watch on the asset/company performance, leading to proactive value enhancement. We further help them in streamlining the divestment process and obtaining optimal value for their assets by conducting divestiture valuation analysis and projections, shortlisting and profiling buyers, and listing market trends.
In addition, we provide bespoke solutions, which include supporting clients on fund raising and bond pricing, creating information memo, preparing valuation and performance reports, performing capital structure analysis, preparing earnings updates, maintaining investor presentation and databases, modelling and forecasting, and creating roadshow presentations.
