Private Equity

Scepticism of private equity still runs deep among many entrepreneurs as they weigh whether the potential advantages PE partners bring to the table justify diluting their financial interest and control. Can PE firms and the companies they are courting bridge the gap? The answer, undoubtedly, is yes. Based on our experience, that will depend on the readiness of private equity firms to adjust their approach to a situation, and the willingness of companies to see the opportunities in tapping the expertise of private equity partners.

The challenge for companies is to recognise that PE firms bring more than money to a deal - they also bring international networks that can help fill gaps in growth strategies, build alliances and add management depth. For their part, PE firms need to adapt their approach, picking targets carefully in industries where they can bring their distinctive skills to bear.

We at DeConseil, help companies carefully evaluate the right partners and bring in the necessary value additions to the deal. With out extensive network and representations, we have the capability to advice projects on a much broader spectrum.


Structured Finance

When more conventional methods of obtaining a business loan are either undesirable or not possible, there is always the option of structured finance. Structure finance essentially is the process of making a loan based on a strong performance in cash flow in the past. Rather than other assets being used as collateral for the loan, funds are advanced based on the history that indicate a consistent flow of cash into the borrower’s business that will allow for the timely and orderly amortization.

Key motivations for using structured finance include lowering funding costs, changes in debt and equity composition of the balance sheet, taking companies public or private, freeing up balance sheet capacity, monetizing balance sheet assets, financing assets, regulatory capital arbitrage, sheltering corporations from operating liabilities, tax management, financing leveraged buyouts, poison pill takeover defenses. The structures can address several issues at once including risk transfer, accounting, taxation, bankruptcy and credit enhancement.

DeConseil has extensive representations with the global Structured Finance Funds to help customers leverage on the various structures and make their businesses more sustainable and profitable.

M&A and JV

DeConseil offers complete end-to-end buy-side and sell-side M&A and JV advisory services. DeCatalyst leverages its strong market intelligence along with its network of companies, private equity funds and other intermediaries to find the right target/partner for our clients. The core activity is to identify, unlock and execute M&As, JVs and commercial alliances

50% of M&As fail to create value and poor planning is blamed for half of those "failures". We assist our clients by undertaking pre-merger planning, setting strategic goals, identifying targets, working out synergies, conducting valuation as well as post-merger assistance in the form of integrating operations, human resources and accounting systems. We also assist in deal negotiation, the vital phase in any M&A activity.

We prepare structuring models, term sheets and also carry out deal negotiation to create the most effective transactions. DeConseil works very closely with the client’s team in ensuring a smooth and result oriented closure of the M&A transaction within aggressively defined time lines.
