KPMG's Transaction Services offer a range of services applicable to acquisitions, disposals, mergers, joint ventures, LBOs, IPOs and other M&A transactions:

• Pre-deal evaluation – for acquisitions and disposals we identify key risks and potential deal breakers, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the business against industry benchmarks, and assist with the evaluation of the potential transaction in the context of your existing business.
• Bid Services – in public transactions we assist bidders and targets throughout the process of both hostile and friendly bids with particular emphasis on investigating the other party without access, identifying value issues, assessing synergies and assisting with the public documents.
• Transaction evaluation (due diligence) – we help assess the key issues facing the business and the drivers behind maintainable profits and cash flows. We provide commercial analysis of relationships and operations, and carry out market studies. We provide an investigative analysis of a business, typically including results/projections, tax, cash flows, commercial issues, management information, systems and controls, pensions, compensation, benefits, legal issues and environmental matters.
• Strategic and Commercial Intelligence – we carry out commercial and operational due diligence combined with customer, supplier and trade interview analysis.
• Vendor due diligence – at an early stage of the disposal process we will supply an independent analysis and evaluation of the financial, commercial and operational performance of the business.
• Vendor assistance – our divestment services include assisting with evaluating disposal options, carrying out pre-sale reviews and pre-sale due diligence, carve outs, assistance with information memoranda and data rooms, addressing purchaser queries, assisting with obtaining stock exchange and other approvals, completion statements, purchase price adjustments, warranty and indemnity claims.
• Transaction structuring – we assist with the creation of efficient deal structures, with consideration of the taxation, accounting, commercial and legal position.
