Better for our clients

Transforming performance

Key issues:

  • Disposing of assets rapidly but for optimal value; accessing new sources of finance.
  • Taking control of an underperforming subsidiary or excessive costs.
  • Managing through a cash crunch.
  • Rebuilding stakeholder confidence.

Tackling performance effectively is all about clarity, decisiveness and speed. Clients need quick, workable solutions that will help get control of the problem, stop the losses and turn the business around.

When we helped Ford sell its Aston Martin sports car business we set up a team to carry out vendor due diligence on the transaction, and also recommended they appoint a second, entirely separate KPMG team to work on a separation plan.

This innovative approach helped potential buyers get a clearer picture of the business they were considering acquiring and sped up the transaction to meet Ford’s demanding deadline for the £479 million deal.

“KPMG’s efficient and detailed due diligence sped up the entire sales process.”
