M&A Advisory

FCG has developed a customized governance, risk, and compliance due diligence methodology for the financial service market. We will utilize FCG IT and an information security team in order to enhance our delivery with a technological due diligence. Our method is based on both quantitative and qualitative assessments, including benchmarks of other markets and similar clients. Our methodology is additionally risk-based, which means that we will focus on the important potential red flags in the transaction, and we will always provide potential remedies of the identified red flags including cost and time assessments of the remedies. At FCG we pride ourselves of being to-the-point which means that we will focus our efforts on real risks to the transactions, and we will only provide remedies that we would be willing to implement ourselves.

Financial service transactions require specific structuring and financing of potential targets. We provide structuring and financing experts for all types of businesses in the financial sector. We can assist with the SPA negotiation and structuring and potential FSA ownership assessments or applications of new authorizations from the FSA. In addition, we can assist with developing the 100-day plan in order to secure a beneficial takeover.

FCG has a dedicated change management team that will assist you with the implementation of the 100-day plan, lower the identified risks identified in the due diligence phase, and leverage potential business benefits from the transactions. FCG has experience with both mergers and separation projects and is considered the best and largest Nordic financial service firm, and can therefore assist with managing the potential transaction. As a company, we have for over ten years and with over 200 dedicated consultants assisted financial services companies on a daily basis.
