IAP - Services

Strategic Advisory
Mergers & Acquisitions
Corporate Finance
Greenfield Entry Execution

We assist clients in finding, understanding and analysing specific opportunities that offer the greatest business potential. We identify and initiate a dialogue with potential targets or partners analysing strengths and weaknesses and suitability as a target/partner for our clients. This advice is usually a first step in a corporate finance transaction.

We assist in valuations, negotiations, due diligence investigations and the completion of transactions which may include sourcing and co-coordinating other professional advice, obtaining official approvals and effecting subsequent disposals or refinancing. We have a successful track record advising on acquisitions, divestitures and JVs including advice on existing relationships which require restructuring or replacing. We have substantial expertise in assessing the potential to preserve, or the need to replace, such relationships.

We advise companies on capital raising at emerging, growth and expansion stages. We assist our clients in navigating the entire fund raising process which includes presenting the investment case and facilitating introduction to sources of capital. We also advise on process, financing structure and the negotiation of detailed terms.

Our Approach

For nearly two decades, IAP Group has acted as trusted financial advisers to some of the largest and most respected businesses worldwide. Key to our success:

A rigorous approach to transactions based on solid local knowledge and world-class corporate finance skills.

An emphasis on country rather than sector specific expertise. We have clients covering the spectrum of old and new economy industries, to whom we provide practical and pragmatic advice across a range of disciplines.

Being extremely well networked locally and globally but totally independent and therefore completely objective in the advice that we give.

An important aspect of the IAP philosophy is that our work is not limited to specific transactions. We support our clients over time and through business cycles, assisting them where we can in their wider activities within and outside India. We will be forthright in our assessment of strategy and tactics, and will advise clients against a particular action or transaction if we feel that it may not be in their long term interest.

How We Work

Our way of doing business is different to most of our competitors, and reflects our special approach to advisory services.

We provide advice to CEOs and top executives of client companies, becoming an integral part of their internal teams. Partners are always personally involved in every stage of a transaction and this engenders a high degree of trust as well as ensuring that a world class level of service is consistently provided.

Our country and deal expertise allows us to provide clients with a range of possible strategies as well as an assessment of the various risks and rewards they might face. We do not offer packaged solutions but rather work with clients to explore available options, select the most appropriate course of action and then efficiently execute a strategy.

We are not afraid of "telling it as it is" often bringing to clients' attention to things they may not want to hear but that, for long term success, should be carefully thought through. Our frankness is often the cement behind our long lasting client relationships.

Our extensive track record and client list speak for themselves. Whether you are seeking advice and assistance in acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or investment, we would be happy to talk to you with absolute discretion.
