Corporate Finance & Strategy

When it comes to Corporate Finance and Strategy our framework is clear and it is about three decisions with one single goal: maximize the value of the firm.

We collaborate closely with entrepreneurs and their executives to ensure that the finance function’s priorities are aligned with and drive forward your corporate strategy.

Our corporate finance advisors assist entrepreneurs, owners and executives in crafting a plan of pivotal initiatives geared towards generating immediate wins and operational efficiencies, while reinforcing capabilities crucial to supporting your strategic endeavors.

We focus on value, reducing expenditures while operating as genuine partners to the business.

Corporate Finance Framework

Maximize the Value of the Firm

01 · Investment
The Investment Strategy

Allocate resources to assets that generate returns exceeding the minimum acceptable hurdle rate.

  • The hurdle rate must reflect the investment risk level and the debt-equity mix used for funding.
  • Returns should account for both the size and timing of cash flows, along with any associated side effects.
02 · Financing
The Financing Strategy

Identify the appropriate type of debt for your firm and determine the optimal combination of debt and equity to finance your operations.

  • An optimal debt-equity mix enhances firm value.
  • The appropriate type of debt should align with the duration of your assets.
03 · Dividend
The Dividend Strategy

If suitable investment opportunities that meet your minimum acceptable return are unavailable, distribute cash back to the business owners.

  • The amount of cash available for distribution is contingent on current and potential investment opportunities.
  • The method of returning cash to owners will depend on their preference for dividends versus stock buybacks.
