The heart of the transaction

At KPMG, our Deals Management Office is at the forefront of the transaction, providing essential support throughout the process. It is complemented by our experts who offer subject matter expertise, ensuring a comprehensive and well-rounded approach to meet your specific needs.

Driving a successful exit

When selling a business, the primary objective is to maximise value for your shareholder. For a single asset, that is likely to mean obtaining the highest possible cash returns. For a business carve-out, this could be more nuanced depending on the wider strategic aims of the business.

Through working on thousands of exits, we consistently see five areas that are critical to get right in today‘s deal environment. As a seller these are areas that are within your control and, when managed appropriately, drive a successful exit with maximised shareholder value.
