SERVICE 04

CorporateAdvisory

The decisions that define the next chapter of a business rarely fit inside a standard service scope. We advise at the intersection of finance, structure and strategy.

INTRODUCTION

Advice for decisions that shape the business.

We advise businesses on corporate structure, transactions and governance — engagements that typically sit between accounting and strategy, and require both to do properly.

Whether a business is preparing for investment, restructuring its ownership, entering a joint venture or navigating a regulatory change, the advice is commercially grounded and delivered by a partner — not a junior analyst working from a template.

We also work with founders and boards on an ongoing basis as a sounding board for decisions that do not fit neatly into the annual audit or tax return.

Capabilities

Engagements are scoped individually. These are the services most often requested.

Business Structuring

Corporate structure design for tax efficiency, liability separation and alignment with growth plans — including holding company and subsidiary arrangements.

M&A Advisory

Buy-side and sell-side advisory for acquisitions, mergers and business sales — from indicative valuation to transaction close.

Financial Due Diligence

Quality of earnings, working capital analysis and financial risk review for investors and acquirers considering a transaction.

Business Valuation

Independent valuations for transactions, shareholder disputes, buy-outs and regulatory or tax purposes.

Corporate Governance

Board structure, director responsibilities, related-party policy and statutory compliance under the Companies Act 2017.

Investment Readiness

Financial model preparation, information memoranda and data room organisation for businesses seeking equity or debt investment.

HOW WE HELP

The questions boards and founders ask.

How we help

Where corporate advisory most often applies

Family-Owned Businesses

Succession, minority shareholder rights, dividend policy and the separation of family and corporate finances require careful structuring.

Investor-Backed Companies

Reporting to investors, compliance with shareholder agreements and preparation for follow-on rounds or exit need a finance function that works ahead of the event.

Listed & Regulated Entities

SECP compliance, related-party transaction disclosure and PSX listing requirements demand governance that is documented, not assumed.

Entrepreneurs & Founders

First-time businesses benefit from getting structure right at incorporation rather than restructuring expensively two years later.

OUR APPROACH

From complexity to clarity.

STEP 01 / 04

01

Understand

Business model, ownership structure, stakeholder objectives and the decision or event that prompted the engagement.

02

Analyse

Financial, tax and legal dimensions of the decision are reviewed together, not in separate silos.

03

Advise

Options are presented with their commercial, financial and tax implications — so the decision is made with complete information.

04

Implement

Agreed steps are executed — including documentation, filings and coordination with legal counsel where required.
