Headline profit is only the starting point. We test the quality of earnings, normalised working capital and net debt, and look for the issues a seller may not mention, so you can negotiate on facts and protect yourself in the deal documents.
Who this is for
- Investors and acquirers evaluating a UAE business
- Lenders assessing a borrower's financial position
- Partners entering a joint venture
- Sellers who want vendor due diligence before going to market
