Business & Finance

Today’s increasingly dynamic and competitive market environment requires that companies closely examine strategic development opportunities through extraordinary operations.

Leveraging an extensive network of relationships and in-depth industry knowledge, we offer our clients access to potential financial and/or industrial investors to meet their most ambitious value objectives.

Mergers and acquisitions require strategic-industrial, economic-financial, legal and fiscal skills.

That is why we have in-house Focus Teams able to address all aspects of the transition, offering comprehensive assistance when required.

We use the experience we have acquired through many successful operations to follow our clients all in their unique characteristics, with efficiency and quality, respecting the tight deadlines that are often imposed in operations of this nature.

We provide sell-side consultancy for company, branch, shareholding and asset sales, and buy-side consultancy for company and shareholding purchases.

We pay great attention to the company’s financial structure, given that the balance between own and third-party sources has become necessary for long-term corporate sustainability in this market context.

B&A identifies the most appropriate financial partners to assist its clients in both their day-to-day management of corporate finance, and extraordinary finance operations, in the restructuring of financing sources and recapitalizations.

With an extensive network of relationships, B&A offers access to an extensive network of contacts with merchant banks, private equity funds, and institutional and private investors.

The specific skills of our team of professionals in valuations establish the Firm as a partner of excellence in valuating companies and business units, shares and strategic business assets (including intangible assets, such as brands).

Our in-depth preparation, paired with solid experience, enable us to identify—from among the commonly used methodological techniques in valuations—the most suitable one for the object to be valuated and the purposes for which a valuation is required.

The Firm’s main valuation activities concern companies and shareholdings to be transferred, including through assignments, as well as generational transitions and organizational restructuring operations, including for shareholder withdrawal (or under special revaluation laws).

Increasing competitiveness requires increasingly efficient organizational models, planning tools and management control. The Firm is a qualified partner for your company and its management to define business models, for economic and financial planning processes and to draft business plans, which are necessary tools to evaluate and enhance strategic development or restructuring choices.

The business plan is also of significant external value as a document supporting the decision-making process of potential investors or lenders.

Our dedicated Focus Team of professionals have developed the necessary skills to evaluate our clients’ specific characteristics, supporting them throughout the process of drafting the business plan, from sharing objectives to drafting the complete document.

The Firm has acquired solid experience in due diligence processes for acquisitions, with skills in the areas of accounting, finance and taxation.

We work alongside the seller to assist our clients throughout the due diligence phase, supporting them in their relatiohip with the potential investor and its advisors, helping the company preserve secrecy within the company structure, selecting the documentation to be disseminated and managing the virtual data room.

The Firm provides consultancy services related to extraordinary operations, such as reorganizational tools to monitor development strategies or to protect and preserve the company’s value.

We identify business objectives and needs to define the most appropriate operation (including for taxation). After defining the technical form of the operation, we assist our client by preparing the necessary documentation, planning and handling related obligations and the timing of the operation, providing the client with a single contact person through every phase of the operation.
