Transaction advisory
As the economic climate improves, you may be considering a transaction either as part of a restructuring exercise or to accelerate your growth strategy. With the spotlight now firmly on corporate governance there is increased investor scrutiny of the strategies and risks involved in transactions, and valuation is often central to this.
More and more businesses are turning to PwC for independent valuations as they are required to justify the pricing decisions on their transactions. Our transactions valuations team of industry specialists use a range of analytical techniques designed specifically around the value drivers of each individual industry and this gives our clients and their stakeholders a much better understanding of the value creation potential of a transaction.
