The chairman and chief executive of a decade-long auditing client of our sister auditing firm reached out to one of our partners sharing a strategic objective for 2025 with a little over a quarter left to execute: to penetrate at least one new European market with the help of private investment. A plan is needed for shareholders this quarter and results are expected by end of fiscal year.
A major transformation from polymer processing company or a polyethylene packaging producer into a global center for recycling, upcycling and repurposing of raw materials is what our client really is getting into, in addition to a valuation, a transaction and a private investment deal.
The client manufactures in an economic industrial zones in Africa with a lot of industrial privileges, access to state funded loans and affordable labor. They also have access to raw material at the source, mostly recyclable which checks multiple boxes.
They also are currently distributing 70% of their facility production to a growing European market with potential for growth within this same market still, in parallel with penetrating new markets.
Our firm is leading the transaction advising, negotiating and implementing the following:
- Strategic objective review advisory ensuring the goal is the most advisable option among multiple alternatives that would achieve the same goal.
- Valuation of the estimated fair value to firm and equity holders.
- Deal negotiation preparation and readiness, as well as actual implementation of agreed negotiation strategies all the way through deal closing.
This is a developing story where our partners and consultants act as Co-Chief Executives with the client’s executive leadership team to achieve this strategic goal, measure its outcomes and optimize its resources by the end of fiscal year 2025.
